BMEzine’s So Fine!

Chase sent in some photos of an awesome cutting he did, on himself!

BMEzine (Roo: Like I have link it, really) has been such a big part of my life over the last couple of years. I decided I’d show just how big a part by doing a flesh removal piece on myself. Thank you BME for changing my life, for the better!

Clickthrough for a shot of the finished (but not healed) piece.

Done at Third Eye Tattoos, West Virginia.

    Very cool, but I wonder how the finer and scrolled parts will hold up in healing.

    Woah, that’s amazing, especially knowing he did it on himself.

    #4 I agree! Fingers crossed he takes a healed photo in a while and we get a follow up! Though with the amount of dedication to do that in the first place I can’t imagine he’d only go half the way and not try to get it to heal really vividly. Great piece of work! xox

    While BME hasn’t changed my life, it sure has made it less boring. So I can relate and that’s a very nice piece.

    Wow, this is it. But tell me, if you cut yourself or someone else is it normal to use anaesthetic? I don’t know much about cuttings, but the more i see it, the more i get interested

  21. RooRaaah Crumbs Avatar

    Cmosat – Very rarely, sometimes a mild anaesthetic spray is used but in my experience the client will just grin and bear it.

    I’m very excited to see good work come out of West Virginia.

    Unfortunately, I have been to too many parlors that were just…not quite up to par. Because body modification is a relatively questionable subject to many in our state, it’s a little more difficult to find experienced, safe practitioners.

    Great work!

    Also, I had a look at Third Eye’s website… my dad is considering his next tattoo, but has difficulty finding parlors he likes. He works in that area, so it’s really convenient.
