The Friday Follow-up

Posted on February 24, 2012 by Rob

For this next follow-up we leave the cold winter weather of the northeast, and head even further north to Guelph, ON where a scarification artist from the sunny southwest created this triskelion for Huxley. We first saw this scar right here, back in July of last year.

Seven months down the road, here is what the scar looks like.

This Steve Haworth creation is looking great. The lines are well defined and the it looks like most of the redness has faded to the point where the scar colour nearly matches her skin tone.

BMXnet Conference 2011

Posted on August 30, 2011 by Rob

Every year the gang at BMXnet.org get together to hold their annual conference. This year’s conference is being held in Essen, Germany the weekend of October 14th, with events starting on Thursday Oct 13th. There are still a number of spots available, so if you’re able to attend, register as soon as you can.

The list of classes hasn’t been posted yet, but going by the speaker list, you can expect seminars from the likes of Allen Faulkner, Steve Haworth, Ron Garza, Dan Dringenberg, Havve and Christiane from Wings of Desire, Gabor Zagyvai, Swasi Dan, Paul King, and many many more. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from some of the world’s finest modification artists, at a reduced rate. Because admission gets you into all of the classes, you’ll be able to see seminars that would normally cost quite a bit individually. These seminars are all on top of the regular classes on everything from piercing techniques to anthropology, laser tattoo removal to store management, and so much more. In addition all classes will be offered in both English and German.

In addition there will also be a large number of vendors and exhibitors, your food is included in the price, and you’ll get to stay at the wonderful Unperfekthaus, a former convent turned into an art project house.

Just click here to register, and start packing your bags for Germany. Oh and while you’re waiting, check out some of the stories that have come from past BMXnet conferences.

The Spiral Trinity

Triskelions seem to be popular these days as it’s the second one we’ve seen in the past week, although in this case it’s a scar and not 33 microdermals. This one in particular was done on Huxley by none other than Steve Haworth, while he was a guest artist at Piercings by J in Guelph, ON.

On the road with Steve Haworth

Posted on September 3, 2010 by Rob

A certain Mr. Crumbs let me know that the legendary Steve Haworth is hitting the road this fall, and is taking his act across the pond to a number of cities in Europe. If you don’t know who Steve is then you owe it to yourself to find out. As for where and when Steve will be appearing, here’s a handy list to help you with your travel plans.

Steve will be appearing at the Primal Arts Festival in Maryland September 3-6, and doing all four of his seminars and participating in suspensions. Visit our Seminars page to register for the seminars. Contact us at [email protected] for appointments. This should be an exciting mix of the body mod world with kink and alternative lifestyles.

Steve will be doing an in-store appearance at INFINITE BODY PIERCING in Philadelphia, PA September 6-7. If you would like to make an appointment, please contact us.

Steve has finalized his European tour plans! He will be appearing at CALM Bodymodification in Stockholm Sep 10-11, Copenhagen Body Extremes Sep 13-14, BMXnet Conference in Berlin Sept 16-19, Trust Mannheim Sep 21-23, the London Tattoo Convention Sep 25, Self Sacrifice in London Sep 26-27, and Ghirigori Family studio in Oggiono, Italy Sept 29-30.

Steve will be presenting all four of his seminars at the BMXnet Conference, and at Self Sacrifice September 26-27. Visit the BMXnet page for more info and to register for BMX. More info will be posted soon on how to register for the London seminars.

Steve will be at Sanchez Ink Tattoo and Body Piercing in Fontana, CA on October 15-16. So if you’re in the LA area and have been wanting a mod from Steve, this would be a good opportunity. Please email [email protected] to make an appointment.

Modification practitioners and enthusiasts alike can benefit greatly from Steve’s seminars, so I highly recommend taking the time to go see him if you’re able to. Also, with Steve performing some modifications near the end of his tour you have the rare opportunity to be modified by one of the finest practitioners in the world. While Steve’s works can be seen in several galleries on BMEzine.com, a good place to start looking would be his own scarification gallery. For those who are subscribers to the surgical areas, the implant section is always a great place to check out some of Steve’s other work.

Is THIS the smile of a homicidal maniac?

Posted on August 17, 2010 by Sean Philips

I would think not. I am sure modblog readers, as well as the readers of many other blogs as well as viewers of the George Lopez show remember Jesse from the recent media circus surrounding his arrest.

However, this is modblog, so focus on the body mods for a bit.

It’s no wonder he’s smiling, look how absolutely amazingly the “Trojan War Helmet” ECU (electro cautery unit) branding has healed up. The scalp is NOT an easy spot to get to scar, trust me I have tried. Yet these brands by Steve Haworth just look astonishing and really add a new dimension to his already impressive collection of body mods.
