Does it snow in Australia?

Shows how ignorant I am. All I know is they do scars there. Seriously, I have no idea if it does or not (I’m guessing it never does in Maroochydore?). Anyway, these gorgeous snowflake cuttings were done by Wayde Dunn at Puncture Body Piercing in Maroochydore, Qld, Australia.

    I met a girl online from Australia, and she had only ever seen snow once in her life. She couldn’t understand why an Atlantic Canadian might be a little sick of it….;)

    That is fucking beautiful, but every time I see a cutting I can’t even fathom how difficult it is to get through everyday life with a gigantic open wound. The pain and discomfort must be maddening (says the guy who rushes for a bandaid whenever he gets a paper cut). Anyway, amazing pic and and cheers to whoever the “victim” is 😉

    Shannon, It’s like +60 celsius at some places there. And part of the country is tropical.
    Though it would be very cool to see koala-bear hanging from eucalyptys tree when it would snow like hell.

    I love snow! Even as a Canadian, I never get sick of it. That and i’m a winter baby (Christmas to be exact) so I adore the white stuff. That is such a beautiful scarification, and it’s similar to what I want my first tattoo to be!

    Just beautiful! Snowflakes are always a good choice to get.;-) and this cutting looks fantastic. I only wonder if it’s really “just” a cutting and not also a skin removal…the lines are quite broad. anyway, great work!

    There’s snow in the mountains. New South Wales, Victoria, etc.
    Aussies seem to be crazy about snowboarding.

    It does snow in Oz!!

    In NSW you’ve got The Snowy Mountains for one. (Aptly named of course 😉 )

    (and a Koala isn’t a bear, it’s just called a Koala 🙂 )

    Pretty cuttings too

    It snows down here, though not everywhere. I’ve seen snow twice: the first time I drove for three hours to see it, the second time I went to another state….(though not specifically to see the snow, but that was kind of an incentive.)

    How they might feel, when they´re all healed up? It´s scary, i´ve got some scars, from different mishaps and they healed all differently.
    I wonder how this one guy with the (?)biddhist(?) motiv covering his chest and stomach managed to heal those thin white lines? They look great!
    I hope those snowflakes turn out as good as this other guy´s scars!

    great motiv btw.

    i thought that no two snowflakes are meant to be alike? har.
    i could see why someone would be so fascinated by them in a tropical climate. but like most other canucks here, i see enough winter right outside.

    Ow, that must really hurt. I don’t think I could ever get scars, they look too painful and potentially dangerous.

    Beautiful work, though. Just gorgeous.

    I lived in Australia for a year and it snowed twice that I can remember while I was there, it also often got cold enough to freeze the bird bath on my front lawn. I lived in Glen Innes, NSW (google it for some fun). The more south you go in Australia the more likely it is to snow (unlike NA) and on the mountains it’s more likely to snow too.
