You know, I made what could be interpretted as a disparaging remark about high detail tattooing when I posted the simple Russian branding earlier this week. So I wanted to make up for it and post this picture (by Big Rick) from the recent So Cal BME BBQ — this is Whitespace and gogo_savvy, who both have excellent examples of high quality high detail work.

- Held by Hooks, and Each Otherby JonathonFacilitators and practitioners — the very people who bring so many suspensions to life — often pour their energy into others, quietly setting aside their own opportunities. Brenton and Brittany are one such example. Traveling all the way from Houston, TX, they came to the… Read more: Held by Hooks, and Each Other

- Suspended, Not Silencedby JonathonThere’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
- A Nightbird’s Passageby JonathonSome stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
- Skin and Strings: The Art of Human Puppetryby JonathonOne of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place.

I remember both those pieces. It’s nice to put faces with them.
yeah, same here. lovely.
Thirded. Probably my two favorite pieces of scarification work on BME.
just beautiful. my breath has been taken away. i also remember the two peices but seeing them again, just amazing.
scarification isn’t my cup of tea and many times i dont like the results aesthetically, but these really open my eyes to what can be done
Oooo…. I just want to touch them…
Those are both awesome and made me smile.
Do I ever want to run my hands over his chest.
Both are amazing, though I prefer Whitespace’s on the whole.
Please forward all “I wanna touch you” inquiries to whitespace.bmezine.com. I am currently accepting all applicants. 😉
very beautiful work!
Ooh, I met him at the East Coast BBQ, he’s very nice, and I love love LOVE his torso work (it’s on his back too, assumeing I’m thinking of the right person)
wow
They look like 800 times better in person, too. It blows my mind.
wow. i remember seeing the chest piece, but i don’t think i have seen the guy’s piece…they are both amazing. the detail is crazy! …wow.
That is breath-taking like liz said. I am in awe right now.
Holy SHIT that healed beautifully. Add me to the growing list of “I want to touch them” 😀
I second the ‘better in person’ comment, truly amazing.
I also want to run my fingers over his torso. The scars are so beautiful. – on BOTH people!!!
absolutely beautiful.
she has a pretty smile
I really want to know how that fineline was done it looks amazing
Awesome
Oh wow. I am in complete awe. These are amazing. and I do want to touch them.
Fuck his scars ALWAYS look amazing.
Just wanted to say..
first off, Shannon in no way were your previous comments disparaging.. and im not saying that in your defence, im saying it because really, they were not. You did not discard fine-line scarification as not being anything but great, you simply stated your personal taste towards the chunkier, bolder lines. Nothing disparaging in that.
Second, i LOVE that picture, mostly because of the obvious setting sun look to the picture, and you could almost FEEL the temperature to it, the smell of sunset in the woods.. i dunno, it came with a very warm feeling, and the sunset on the scars just made them pop so beautifully. Not to mention as others have said, its great to see two smiling faces to put to the scars themselves!
Georgeous work… I knew I was scrolling through the pages for a reason – The one on the left is the most beautiful mod i’ve seen to date.
does anybody know if these were cuttings or brandings
cutting
i dont really like the raised ones like her’s but i love his, it’s amazing!
Absolutely amazing.
