That has to be one of the coolest pieces of scarification I’ve seen to date – I wonder how well it will heal tho?

It does look a lot like female genitalia…both in the raw pinkness, and the fact that the seashell has been a motif for that sort of thing for a while now.

I think the “look, a penis” is a reference to the nautilus tattoo posted here some time ago that supposedly looked like a penis. It’s a joke.

I got that part when I read Ant’s comment, but it seemed as though some other people were taking it seriously, anyhow I meant it as a light hearted comment as well.

Yeah although I am a big fan of pointing out things that look like a penis, this doesn’t and i was making a loving reference to the nautillus guy being a jerkoff.
On a serious note im quite impressed by this. I havent looked at a great deal of scarification, and this is the first I’ve seen that is less ‘big-chunky-outlines’ and more of a kinda flesh sculpture. e.g. it actually looks like a shell. I’d be interested to see how it looks once its healed.

that is very impressive for a DIY. I will be curious to see the final product since it *looks (can’t really tell size from the pic) a little small.
