Rumiko had the brilliant scarification duo of Ryan Ouellette and Wayde Dunn do this collaboration skin removal in the shape of a cat during their receit soirée to Japan. The inset photo is fake by the way — I was wondering roughly what the piece would look like in five to ten years and the scar is lighter than the skin rather than brighter. The scar in the big photo (real) is sixteen days old.

You know, most piercing portfolios have pretty mundane pictures with bland expressions and straight-on photos. Adam at Psycho City Tattoo in Lancaster, CA has gone a little more creative with his portfolio it seems — a 14ga vertical labret in this case.

It’s Mr. Sparkle!!!! Link80xx had this done by Lew Hess at Atlas Tattoo in Portland, OR. If you don’t know who Mr. Sparkle is, click the picture for a video.
These skin removal chestpiece wings were done about a week apart, her right side being freshly cut in this photo, and the left the week before. This ultraclean removal was done by Verno at Holy Mackerel/Visual Addiction in St. Paul, MN. The central star looks like it’s been keloiding very evenly, so I imagine these will look great when they’re done!
Even though in this photo it looks like the linework may be a little shaky (or it could just be the photo), I really think this piano chestpiece is very pretty peaking out from under a collar.

Jason, the lead gorilla, sends in this great shot of the always stunning La Negra modelling some of the wonderful glass jewelry (BMEshop link) he makes in Mexico.
