Newwound has just opened up a studio of his own, Third Eye Tattoo in Melbourne, Australia, and recently did a DIY cutting on himself of the classic BME logo — this took him four hours to do. There’s a finished photo after the break. Because of all the curves and linework, it can’t have been an easy piece to do DIY with good consistency — from his post on it:
I nearly passed out a couple of times — I’ve never actually passed out… It hurt a wee bit, and I all most didn’t finish it. I was shaking for the last hour or so, but still, I think I did good… Some lines aren’t finished I’ve only really just noticed and a few dodgey bits, but hey. I learnt a lot like — what a four hour session is like, and tight curves are hard and need to be done kinda slowly, the inside for your leg really really hurts, and I’m in control. I’m pretty sure the bigger part of me was telling me to not do it, do it smaller, do two sessions and please stop.

Big cojones man! Looks good to me.
MANLY AS FUCK!
GRRRR **manly face**, well done! definately well worth it, looks amazing!
That would take some serious kahunas man.
Just carrying on with the ball references:D
Awesome! Thats amazing to push your own limits like that
Holy fuck.
amazing
Wow, impressive!! Especially with all the detail, and from his point of view he’s cutting it upside-down… that can’t have been easy… major props to you, dude!!
Looks like he intended to do full removal on parts of the face. Can’t blame him for stopping with just the lines though.
Oh ke bueno. Yo me hice un skin removal de sepultura en la pierna y tarde komo 5 horas. Le verdad ke se aprende mucho haciendotelo tu mismo.
nice one, really.
It looks really good, and wow, I could never ever do a DIY on myself. I mean, I would want to, but yeah, it’s one thing to let someone else hurt you, but to yourself.. eeeeeeek.
that is beautiful. and even if you may see imperfections, it’s still going to be AMAZING when it’s healed. congrats!
wow wow wow…i have always liked the classic bme logo…he did a great job on this…major kudos!!!
This just makes me wanna get a classic logo tattoo….and maybe thats just what i’ll do. =]
I read the title as BME Lego scar.
I was disappointed at the lack of Legos.
great DIY work 🙂
kudos for finishing the piece.
i could never have done that. seriously pushes ones limits and what one can accomplish! well done timb! very awsome!!
I have 600+ photos of me doing it thanks to Brentley Frazer. I did intend to remove the whole tattooed part of the face but I was seriously over it at 11pm. I’ve got a bad back thanks to do it. Thank you every one for your comments. I won’t be doing it again any time soon…
I’m amazed. Looks absolutely great.
Can’t imagine doing anything like that to myself for that period of time.
Wow! Props to him!
that doesnt look too bad at all! very nice work, and DIY! lord!
Hey newwound, the cutting is really good, i dont think i could watch a cutting for four hours let alone do it myself..
I’m from melbourne, and wondering if you can give me any more info on your new studio, thanks!

I looked before I read.
I thought, wow, those are some crappy lines.
Then I read…and well, I’m impressed! That would be VERY hard to do on yourself without anesthetics. I wouldn’t be able to do it.
Hats off to you.
i read the quote before the explanation (why i have to do things ass backwards i’ll never know) and couldn’t figure out why he was so proud of making it through, and then i realized he was doing that to himself. hot damn, he’s the coolest ever! i think it looks really good.
omgggg; madddddd props that looks AMAZING. want to do my cutting? ahaha
Yay Timb! Join us modblogged wellingtonians!
Mega kudos, just wish i could be over there too.
nice work, wish i could have seen it in person.
RESPECT!
compared to the other scarifications ive seen on here (a few!) this one looks kind of inflamed. weird.
talk about mind over matter!!
DIY? That’s hardcore!
Looks great too…
fucking amazing, massive congratulations 🙂
inflamed?… nope healthy as. Maybe it’s the picture… I don’t see what you mean… There are a couple of deeper cuts which happened when I was trying to work through the shock.
AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL!!
Timb thats amazing.
I’m so happy that you set out to do it and did so well! Timb, you rock sweetie 🙂
