Getting Shit Dunn!

This fantastic five hour scarification piece is on Eric and by Wayde Dunn (more). It completes what they started at Scarwars3 last year in Philadelphia!

I’ll keep you posted on how it heals! Finally, Wayde also asked me to mention that from the 23rd of August 2008 until the 23rd of September he will be working from Laughing Buddha in Seattle, WA as a guest body piercer plus he will be taking appointments for scarification! You can contact him at [email protected].

From there – Himself, Chris Glunt, Ron Garza, John Durante and Dave Gillstrap (collectively known as the LTD Crew) are heading to South East Asia, so keep your eyes peeled for them!

The Geeks Shall Inherit The N64!

So, as this is my last post (for the Canadian evening), I thought as a change of pace I’d treat you all to some geek influenced tattoos, and a scarification.. Another few hundred Kilobytes of photos are after the break!

First up is Matt and his “thumb of power” scarification that leaves motorists bewildered as to why they stopped to pick him up! By Wayde Dunn, Infinite Body Piercing, Philadelphia.

Next on the gurney is this super-vibrant “medical” tattoo on IAM: medic (surprise, surprise) and is by DeeDee Seruga, Requiem Body Art, Spring Hill, Florida.

These are my personal favourites! Clickthrough for larger images..

IAM: shadowsoldier, by various artists around Lansing and Kalamazoo, Michigan.

The penultimate tattoo in this entry is by an unknown artist (who was apparently bipedal through the entire sitting!) from Tiki Tattoo in Mesa, Arizona.

IAM: jessicamolko – “1.4% is the genetic difference between human and primate.

And finally (hope you’re not too geeked out because the second batch is going up tomorrow night!), it’s this charming gamer tattoo by Matt Griffith (2 Dollar Pistol Tattoo, Chillicothe, Ohio).

I’m planning to make tomorrow a BMEBoys day, the unfortunate truth is that boys don’t seem to submit as many photos as the girls. Judging by the above though you can’t blame computer games for that!

D to the M to the T.

You may remember IAM: madroota from such ModBlog posts as Awesome suspension themed hand tattoo and Empire Strikes Hack, well, he’s back with his next thrilling installment! (The text of which I stole from his IAM page, added links and edited slightly without asking).

DMT is a chemical that occurs in most plant life and traces are also found in the human body. It’s function is unknown within the human body, however the Shaman believe that at forty one weeks after conception the mother feeds pure DMT into her unborn child and this is the point where we obtain our “soul” and spirit. DMT can be extracted from certain varieties of plant such as Wattle and Acacia to become a yellowish-red crystal.

If smoked or snorted these crystals can be one of the most potent psychedelic hallucinogens around!

Many ancient tribes throughout history have used DMT for spiritual rituals and just good old recreational use. This being said I thought it would be good idea to let the infamous Wayde Dunn cut the DMT molecular structure into my torso. From under my armpit wrapping around to my belly. I have to say I am extremely happy with the outcome, and once again Wayde has proved that he is one of, if not the best cutter around! Although the over all design is relatively simple the numbers and letters seemed a little tricky due to their size but turned out perfectly! So thank you Wayde and thank you to who ever discovered the extraction process of DMT (Roo: Gonçalves de Lima).

That’s quite enough of that, back to the regular schedule!

Another scar by someone who rhymes with Sauteed Nun

I am getting very tired of having to type out the name “Wayde Dunn” (WaydeDunn.com), but thanks to Betty who had this piece cut while he was at 5 Point in Johnston, IA, I have to post another one of his wonderful scarification pieces! That said — and I feel terrible saying this — if it heals bad, it’s going to look like the worst shaving rash ever!

Big Six-Point Star Scar

SavageGypsy in Chicago had this great big star-implying skin removal done by a guy who’s name rhymes with sprayed fun (how many times can I really type his name before I get bored?). I hope she doesn’t mind me including this, but her idiotic (ex)-boyfriend refused to continue seeing her because he thought they were an insult to “people who have endured injuries to get ‘real’ scars” (as if that even makes any sense) — I think she’s better off without him. But still, it makes me sad when couples have problems over body modification (it’s a very common problem) because it shows that the one person never really understood or empathized with the other…

But hey, I know there are a zillion readers/submittors here that are looking for people with voluntary scars!
