One of my favorite things about scars is how they “grow” and age… the many stages they go through, from the fresh and scabbed up version the day of, through the various phases of initial healing, and then the assorted periods of aging… For at least three to five years, the piece is in a slow state of flux. Quentin from Kalima did these brands below (fresh in the first picture), and after the break you can see them at one of my favorite stages, especially on this color of skin.

These are my favorite stages as well. I love the way scars looks when freshly cut, too. The sharp contrast really does something for me.

wow! i’m really impressed with how well those are healing up, sometimes (at least from what i’ve seen) lettering that intricate can get a little mushy when it comes to branding.

That is fantastic! I’m not a big fan of scarification myself, but I’ve seen some pieces that I thought were extremely beautiful, and this is one of them!

It’d be nice if the scars stayed this color, but if that person’s skin is anything like mine, it’ll get darker. Either that or I just have bad luck with scars… But it’s still a nice piece
…damn that was quite the negative nancy comment, not my intention however.

Very nice. The “flux” over the years is an awesome phenomenon to watch. I have a 5 y/o brand that is very raised, and a 1 y/o brand that is sunken in. Watching them change over time is part of the fun! I love how this mod looks on darker skin. Sweet.

That looks really really beautiful. I love the contrast of the color of the brand and the skin. Wonderful work.
