Here’s some very nice geometric cutting work by Ona and Paks at Por Vida in Madrid, Spain.

Even better!
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.
Cat Collaboration Cutting
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.
Scarred Wings
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!
Eyelid Scarification
I think this is the first intentional cutting that traverses the full eyelid that I’ve seen, or at least that my jumbled memory recalls. Viper‘s wife did this cutting on him with a knife at their home in Scotland. You know, now that I re-read the email it doesn’t actually say “intentional”… Viper, if you need me to call the domestic abuse services to keep you safe, let me know. 😉
Scars augmenting tattoos
I’ve featured tattoos that augment scarification projects, and I’ve featured scars that destroy pigment, done over top of tattoos, but this is one of the first cases where I’ve seen a scar done on a tattoo after the fact where the keloids were intended to augment the tattoo! Thanks to Joshlobes for sending this, both fresh and well into its healing.
JESUS LOVES ME
Almost healed
Steve Truitt (Stay Gold, Albuquerque, NM — but given how regularly he’s featured here I’m sure you know that by now!) has been slowly sculpting *Stitch* (this piece was posted fresh as well) into a scarified dreamgirl. Seriously, the number of gorgeous people, male and female, who are now choosing scarification as their dominant personal artform grows all the time… I love it!

Healed Scars
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.
