There seems to be a recent uprise in the popularity of scarification, both “intentional” looking like this one (on hypnotik davzzz), and the rougher scars I’ve featured in the past, that cross the eye visually. This fresh example, done using skin removal, is by Efix at D-Markation in Quebec City, Quebec.
The story behind this play is actually quite fascinating — the person in the picture was born with webbed toes on their right foot. As a teenager they wanted to normalize this, so using a razor blade they started cutting the web slowly with a razor blade, using pressure to notch in the web. Bleeding was relative minor. In any case, they discovered that they enjoyed this activity and found it exciting, and started doing it recreationally as well with other, unwebbed, toes, and are considering an amputation.
Anyway, I always find it very interesting to find out what the catalyst is that causes people to stumble upon, and then discover that they enjoy, heavy play and modification.
Patrick just extended his already amazing appearance with a set (on each cheek) of skin removals by Lukas Zpira at Copenhagen Body Extreme in Denmark.
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.
What, you have a better place to keep your glasses when you’re not wearing them? This is the same person I’ve featured before doing very intense subcutaneous play — it goes without saying that unless you’ve autoclaved them, putting your glasses under your skin is kind of risky (and even then it still is), but I’m thinking that because of how much he’s done this play he’s probably “exercised” his immune system to the point where he has Wolverine-like healing powers.
Geez, your ribs are showing! Oh wait, those are just bead implants (approaching two years old in these photos) done by Shawn O’Hare at Fillmore Tattoo and Piercing in Ventura County, CA. Sammich eating demand hereby withdrawn. I don’t know if these would be comfortable, but I do like the way they look… they’re like grips or something.
I’ve posted the occasional genital bisection here before (the big galleries are in BME/extreme), but I think this may be the very first time I’ve seen a full bisection project being attempted with the aid of acid (versus, say, a pair of bandage scissors like J used – more). So far the project is healing well!
Here’s a great photo of Jonnypant’s tongue split procedure by Lukas Zpira while in Adelaide, Australia (with such a beautiful assistant, who could resist his scalpel?).
I really like how the new red flesh-themed tattooing on the right side of Abnorm‘s head is bringing out his tribal tattoo work (and implants).
Glans branding… but at least ‘J’ will never forget his initial.
