When I recently posted the scar of the hand that was in its healing phase, I was sent an email asking me to post more fully healed scarifications (what, don’t like them fresh?). Below are two good examples, with the one on the left (the heart cutting) being done about two years ago by John Joyce at Scarab Body Arts in Syracuse, NY. The one on the right (the floral/leaf pattern) is about five months old, cut by David at Slave to the Needle in Seattle, WA.
A customer of Evan‘s (Color Works in West Des Moines, IA) asked him to have the eye he had tattooed on “shine” — here comes a microdermal to the rescue! Anyway, that’s it for today (sorry), but I’ve been thinking about the ModBlog Scrapbook idea a bit more and I’d be happy to take the time to assemble it if people are interested — it would basically be a print “best of” for ModBlog since it began in August 2005.
Killswitch KD‘s clavical scars were done by Jon Durante at Laughing Buddha in Seattle, WA.
16ga (I mean, 000ga) labret by Nicki at Primitive Impressions in Village Gate, Rochester, NY.
It’s 50/50 right how whether I’ll be around tomorrow (stuff I have to do in the morning mostly) so we might meet again on Friday instead of when originally expected, but odd schedules is nothing new here! Until then, enjoy the day’s entries.
I really like hand web piercings — a hand web ring was actually one of my first professional body piercings, I think back in 1994. Here’s Himmlich‘s hand ring (and their “flower”).
Seriously, I looked up “pothead” in the dictionary and tore it out to show you. Luis Botas from Kaustika in Mexico City did the tattoo — click through for the real photo by the way.
It was so hot up here in the Northern hemisphere on New Year’s that we went to the beach as well… I didn’t even realize when I got these photos they were from Tinaxo down in Australia (from the same event as the entry below) — I thought it was a shot up here! I don’t know if that’s a reflection on the reality of global warming or the reality of me being delusional.
I’m talking about the red-eyed freak bug on the chin of the red-eyed freak human by the way, not the other way around (photo: Tinaxo, Newcaste, Australia).
“Chloe has pictures like her aunt aunt Holly’s“ — the tattoos (the real ones) are about a month old in this photo, done by Javi at Tusk Tattoo in London.
