This week’s follow-up is a little fishy. Ok, maybe it’s a big fishy.
This big bass scar by Efix was featured back in January. It’s been a few months now, and the healing is coming along well. So let’s take a look at how it appears today.
As you can see, it’s still a little red and shiny, but the small details are visible, even under all that leg hair. For more works by Quebec artists Efix Roy, check out his portfolio gallery.

Seeing as how a python is a type of snake, here’s a snake scar from Lassi‘s BME Artist Portfolio.
Up until 5 minutes ago, I thought that this piece by Brian was on someone who just loves bunnies and fish. Well much to my surprise, the Bunnyfish is actually a creation of LA based illustrators Kozyndan. Even at my age, it’s still possible to learn something new every day.
You can see a bit more detail in the full sized image which is located in Brian’s BME portfolio gallery.
Well if you’re one of Brian Decker‘s clients the answer to that question is pretty simple.
I could be wrong, but this looks like a straight up flesh removal as opposed to some of the cutting and branding combination pieces that Brian has been doing lately. We’ve seen a bit of Brian’s work this week, and there’s one more left for tomorrow. Head over to his BME portfolio gallery to see if you can guess which one is coming up.
When it comes to scarification, there are a few artists that are truly masters of the art. One such master is Quebec’s Efix Roy. Working out of D-Markation in Quebec City, as well as touring the globe, Efix’s scars are always incredible. In the third and final animal-related post today, we have one of Efix’s newest scars, a bass leaping out of the water.
This piece in particular is a combination of cutting, peeling and cross-hatching. The cross-hatching is a technique used for shading, and you can see it in the darker areas where the stencil ink is still present.
There is also a close-up image in Efix’s BME portfolio gallery, in addition to many of his other incredible works.
I plan on harassing him on your behalf so you can see how this heals up.
Now this is awesome. John Joyce sent this is in a couple of days ago and I haven’t been able to stop looking at it since. But that could be just because I’m a Lovecraft fan, so anything resembling C’thulhu catches my eye.
Now John asked me to pass on a message to the ModBlog readers. The Philly convention is only a couple of months away and he does have some spots available for scar work, so if you’ve ever wanted to get a scar done by John, now is your chance. You can get in touch with him through IAM, or at his studio, Scarab Body Arts in Syracuse, NY
HEY MODBLOGGERS, SORRY FOR THE EXTENDED ABSENCE—SUBSTANTIAL TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES COMBINED WITH SOME METAPHORICAL CROSSED WIRES GOT US INTO THIS MESS, AND THEN WE HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME READING ALL THE JOKES YOU GUYS WERE CRACKING IN THE COMMENTS THAT WE JUST WANTED TO LET THAT STEW SIMMER A LITTLE LONGER. ANYWAY, IN CELEBRATION OF INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY, HERE IS A HANDSOME CUTTING OF A RHINOCEROS—AN ANIMAL FAMOUSLY UNABLE TO PRESS DOWN THE SHIFT KEY WITH ITS MIGHTY STUMPY TOES AND THUS JUST KEEPS CAPS LOCK CRUISING AT ALL TIMES—COURTESY OF OUR OLD FRIEND ANDERS, WHO IS ON MODBLOG SO OFTEN WE COULD PROBABLY ASK HIM TO CHIP IN SOME RENT. BUT WE WON’T. WE WILL SIMPLY SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR HIM TO SUBMIT MORE OF HIS ALMOST SINGULARLY CLEAN AND PRECISE SCARIFICATION WORK, WHICH IS SOMETHING ON WHICH WE CAN COUNT PRETTY REGULARLY, WHICH MAY BE EVEN BETTER THAN A RENT CHECK.
If there are two things we enjoy above almost all else, they are cephalopod-related body modifications and warm corned beef sandwiches. If we were to add a third item, though, Brian Decker would probably make the list, seeing as he never fails to provide us with awe-inspiring tentacled monsters (though this one was mostly designed by the lovely Candace. In exchange for his contributions to the canon, we’ll pass on the word that Mr. Decker will be in Austin, Texas, at the end of this month, starting around October 20, and he is taking appointments! Visit him on IAM or at Pure Body Arts to set something up. Just do it already.
As we have made mention of many times in the past, ModBlog exists, if for no other reason, than to bring you, the handsome and erudite readers, the very finest in cephalopod-related body modification. Well, here we have a jaunty little octopus, cut into place by Brian Decker at Pure Body Arts in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Mr. Decker is currently gallavanting around Berkeley, California, doing whatever it is people do there (smoke medical marijuana and hate America), so feel free to get in touch with him if you are in the market for his particular brand of pain-infliction.
Enjoy your weekend and your Raekwon, folks!

Gahhh, sorry once again for the late start, you lovely people. Here is some sage advice for anyone reading: Don’t move. Ever. Wherever you are, right this second, just plant yourself in that spot for however many years it takes until you are gifted with the sweet release of death. It will be worth it. Ha, depressing! Let’s cheer up with some nice, relaxing koi—or, at least, this fine cutting of some nice, relaxing koi by the very talented Rata.
