The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Getting Shit Dunn!

This fantastic five hour scarification piece is on Eric and by Wayde Dunn (more). It completes what they started at Scarwars3 last year in Philadelphia!

I’ll keep you posted on how it heals! Finally, Wayde also asked me to mention that from the 23rd of August 2008 until the 23rd of September he will be working from Laughing Buddha in Seattle, WA as a guest body piercer plus he will be taking appointments for scarification! You can contact him at [email protected].

From there – Himself, Chris Glunt, Ron Garza, John Durante and Dave Gillstrap (collectively known as the LTD Crew) are heading to South East Asia, so keep your eyes peeled for them!

    WHOAHHH. This is one piece we definitely need to get a followup post on when it’s healed!! I echo the sentiments of those who are concerned a bit for healing that much at once, but man, I do with you good luck and a very normal, boring and mundane healing process!
    Ahhhh. It’s gorgeous. :)!!

    I am almost weeping at how much that must hurt, but I have to say, it is the first scarification piece that has really grabbed my attention and the best application of the medium I have seen (aesthetically speaking, not technically, although that is obviously brililant too!)

    Holy shit, I can’t even begin to imagine how bad that must have hurt.

    First off many thanks to Wayde!
    Infinity of Philly.
    BME for getting this up
    and all the positive comments.

    Second, healing is going well; I am wearing yoga pants, scrubs and sweats. I feel like a douche.
    Other from that I am still running around, my car broke down yesterday in Brooklyn, so I had to push it to the curb, push it to the back of the flat bed and start diagnosing what the problem is at home…

    Chrometiki – Just so you know I’ve edited your IAM link from /?(home) to /?chrometiki – It was confusing people when they clicked on it because it was taking them to their IAM page 🙂

    to #36 ok cool i was just wondering for everyone that might be looking at this and think that it can be done on the go, just to kind of confirm that it is something that has to be treated with respect and that skill required be available

    That is beautiful, but I am wondering what is on his hip in the fourth pic. Is that a shadow or was it damaged in healing?
