This intense scarification project was done on Metal_Games by Jeffrey at Paradigm Bodyart in Arnheim. He describes the experience,
“Starting with the lines, the pain wasn’t half as bad as I’d expected. In fact, it was a breeze for the most part. It took Jeffrey, the artist, about twenty minutes to cut all the lines. A couple of deep breaths, and we went straight on to removing the skin. I wasn’t looking forward to that, but again, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Obviously, it was a lot more painful than the linework, but never unbearable. I was able to watch calmly as Jeffrey was working on it, although for the most part I just concentrated on the ceiling or the wall across from me. Some parts on the more sensitive parts of my leg had me clenching my jaw, and after about forty-five minutes I just wanted it to be over with. We were nearly done at that point however, and after another painful ten minutes it was all over.”
“Stopping the bleeding was a different matter though, and I lay there for a while until it stopped. After bandaging it, it felt like a large abrasion. So, back to Utrecht, where it turned out the bleeding had started again, but the next morning when I cleaned it for the first time, it had stopped. Cleaning it for the first time turned out to be pretty painful (duh), but the second time it was a lot better. Now all I have to do is to care for it according to Jeffreys advice, and I can’t wait to see how it’s gonna come out when it’s fully healed. All in all, it wasn’t the most fun experience I ever had, but I’m glad I went through with it. It looks so cool!”

Nice concept (who doesn´t love the old, sweet NES?) but I wouldn´t have included the light-grey boxes, just the buttons.

this was just done, swollen and with tension on it because the leg was layed down.. when it’s all healed up, you’ll see that it all comes together..

How bad is it that it makes me a little hungry since the peeled parts look like pepperoni and bacon?

It does look cool, but I can’t help thinking it looks a little deep, glad it’s not just me who thought this. Though I am also glad to hear that it’s healing nicely so far! It’ll look ace when it’s finished – I think it’d look really cool if it was accented a little with some tattooing as well.
I really miss my NES, somebody my dad knew gave it to me for free when I was in my early teens, but I foolishly traded it in a few years later along with my mega drive and seemingly endless games, so that I could buy a playstation game. Live and learn, people, never do this!

I love it 😀 And for those who don’t think it looks like a NEScontroller: I think it does, and even then, it’s his design, and he wanted it this way. Probably not everyone wants an EXACT copy of something in a modification 🙂

I really like how the linework looks, I much prefer it to the whole flesh removal.

i LOVE THE CONCEPT…But wade is right, the removal is way too deep… but on a white guys lower leg, it’ll be a bit wobbly but I don’t think it will look horrible

Hmm, I have to agree whit some other ppl and tell you that the 1st pic whit the lines looks realy nice.
the 2nd doesnt looks to good becaus it looks like alot of the lines are off.
BTW: do u have any pics from when it healed?

First off, come on people, if thats not a NES controller i don’t know what is.
Though, I have to agree with ” The Thunder” (Wayde, ofcourse). The linework is (sorry) sloppy and anything but fluent – mostly because the depth of the cut. I can’t help but wonder how this piece looked when it healed though.
