Wow, in terms of healed scarifications (*it’s not totally healed — about three months old in the picture), this definitely places on my top five list… It just looks so natural. These were done by premiere scarification artist Ryan Ouellette, who’s just set up a new site at PBAscars.com that’s dedicated to his work (and of course he has a gallery on BME as well).

The first thing I thought of was the impressions I did in kindergarten for my parents. It’s amazing the juxtaposition (if that’s what it is) with the child and the scars. B-e-a-utiful.

I couldn’t agree more with the first three posts! That is a fantastic piece of body art, definitely amongst the best I’ve ever seen. It reminds me so much of cave art pipe-blown paint hands, which have been interpreted by some as touching an alternative world through the membrane of the rock.

after seeing the initial skin removal, i think that its a shame how much finger and palm detail was lost during healing. i guess the skin must have really tightened up around the scar tissue as well, because the scar in the above picture looks quite a bit smaller than the original cutting.

i LOVE LOOVE LOOOOVE that, it makes me think of a ghost or spirt that touched them, and it left mark, like something out of a horror movie!

i don’t think i’ve ever seen another quite like it.
it healed beautifully, and i think it looks great where it was placed. i don’t care much for scarifications, but this is brilliant.

in the hands of the maker there’s a quite awesome art, but the healing process left this scarification so overwhelmingly sweet and beautiful.
