BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Wayde Dunn = Scalpel King

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I just keep getting more and more impressed by the scar work I’m seeing from Wayde at Puncture in Maroochydore, Qld, Australia. It’s really stunning stuff. Check out this Mayan king design he did — in these photos it’s about four months old and keloiding beautifully.

    I have a cutting done by Wayde and I must say its one of my absolute favourite mods.

    It turned 1 year old on Monday and has healed awesomly.

    Check out my page for some righteously graphic procedural pics:P

    WAYDE ROCKS!!!

    very happy to see Wayde getting some recognition! he is an awesome guy, and skilled to boot!
    He jumped in on my cutting at Scar Wars 🙂 Although it is only a month old, it is healing really well, and I couldn’t be anything other than exstatic about it.

    at first glance, i thought the first shot showed it bending around a wrist.
    until i saw the nipples in the other pics.
    pretty! 🙂

    that really is beautiful! I’ve often thought of getting a mayan cloud serpent done in either white ink or scar work, so it’s awesome to see how beautiful these classic designs work with scars!!
