Tomorrow ModBlog is getting migrated to a new server, so there may be a period of stasis as DNS updates and so on, but it shouldn’t be for long. A bunch of stuff is getting moved around tomorrow so don’t worry about it if there’s a temporary outage.
Scarification by Paks at Por Vida in Madrid.
Forehead scarification via skin removal by Abel at Nomadas in Guadalajara, Mexico.
I wasn’t going to post today, but I got this amazing collaboration scarification (seriously, click that if you’re wondering why “collaboration” is emphasized) photo from Ron Garza (www.rongarza.com) and Wayde Dunn (www.waydedunn.com) and had to share it (who tour regularly; check their sites for schedules). The cutting (here’s a closeup) is on Justin and is based on a photo of a Garuda mask that Ron took in Indonesia, which he and Wayde redrew for scarification.
L-R: Ron, Justin, Wayde.
About a year and a half ago Ubergeekgawdess had Tantan (at Infinite, Philadelphia) do the cutting that you can see healed on the left. Just now, on the right, Joy Rumore (at Venus, NYC) has added tattooing to augment the scar as it matures.
I’m not going to say that seeing this photo makes me desperately want to embrace Marysparks simply so I can run my fingertips over those wonderful keloids… but I will write it here on ModBlog! These really seem to have healed wonderfully… Cutting by Shawn Lower, photo by IllumiQuest.
Scott pierced Pip‘s heart…
Ghobian sends in this “smeared nipple” on a customer of Steve Perry’s at Mink Ink in Kingman, AZ. The intense heart shaped scarification that’s pulling his nipple? Blame that on his quad… Cool that the piercing survived all that (or was still possible if it was done afterwards)!
Russ Foxx did this stitching on Pretty_Lush for New Year’s — you can see it here marked out, stitched, and then finally scarred as it rejected (as intended).
Progressive‘s finger lines and hidden spirals, as cut by the extremely talented Wayde at Piercing Urge in Melbourne, Australia.
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.
