#11 Scalpel

Posted on September 23, 2005 by Shannon Larratt

Tattoo artists and fans getting tattoos of tattoo machines is certainly not an uncommon theme, so I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised to see the same thing manifesting in the world of scarification now that it’s growing up as a semi-mainstream artform. Here’s a few pictures of UREA in Brasil (a scarification artist himself) doing a large cutting of a #11 scalpel blade on his forearm.

A lot of the modified women (and some of the modified men) you’llmeeton IAM appreciate the art — and luxury — of a good manicure andpedicure. In searching for rhinestones, *chel* (my hero!) has surpassed my searchingskillsand I bow to her, albeit begrudgingly.

I also want the cherry onesfor my tattoo artist‘s wife… It’s time for me to send some chocolate to Dita of BMEJapan, and see if she can’thelp me place an order!
