That is incredible.
It reminds me of an elaborate window in a church or something.
That’s fantastic.
Oh wow, that is absolutely gorgeous.I’ve never understood why the artists dont always wear shirts though. I’ve seen so many photos of tattooing or other procedures where the artist has no shirt on. What’s the deal?
hoooly shit. that’s incredible.
holy hell they have a high pain threshold. And I was wondering the same thing as you, Hayley.
Maybe because it’s possible they could come into contact with blood or pieces of bloody skin, and don’t want to stain a shirt.
Oh, and that is some insanely sick work
really nice 🙂
Wow.
Wicked!
thats allot of skin i think 4 one sitting
Niiice…
so intense! looks great.
It’s really a pleasant work to watch
‘Cause shirts are almost as evil as socks?
I’ve always wondered what those little mounds were in fresh scarification.
Anybody know?
You can see one near the upper area of the arm.
I do believe those are his legs and that is his crotch area…..just maybe?
He should have put on clean draws for the picture, but the removal is cool.
that’s beautiful!
Ahh Iestyn! He did some playpiercing on me a few years back
This is a stunning piece I can’t wait to see how it looks after a while
Wow, that’s just gorgeous. I love it.
Woah. That’s intense! Looks cool though, can’t wait to see it healed!
I agree with VOMIT.
Very intense and I’m not sure I could handle that but its stunning.
@16: the dark bits? Blood clots maybe?
that is wicked awesome!
man, I am really a fan of these intricate geometric scarification pieces I’ve been seeing lately. Gorgeous work.
it.s just flesh …once things have settled down u take a tooth brush with sum toasted sesame seed oil and srub the area real well like 4-5 times a day and most of that comes away leaving rawwer flesh underneath
mean. looks like a mosaic or something.
quite frankly id rather get someones blood on my clothes rather on me tho…
makes sense tho to do it in a single session, once offl; over and done with, the irritation and ugly feelings of trying to heal, the next day? once off, over and done and only clean sailing from there.
Infection is real and i can think that after the job is done? a plastic or some covering is used, no ones wants re exposure 2 the elements.
Id say do as much as possilble as soon as possible, the pain? Its cutting, done correctly there will be less. Any one got statistics on infection rates? South aAfrica sucks ass, want to be able 2 do this.
This is just amazing … I’m so jealous as I don’t think I have the pain threshold for that kind of work … huge props to you ….
WOW!
that’s a lot of removed flesh.
great pattern – hope it heals evenly.
textures make me smile, this is awesome
wow that’s amazing!
hey lestyn i can se your nippel..
awesome work..
WOW! and OW! hope the end result is great.
im so glad to read posotive Modblog responces
this is such a beautifiul piece, would love to touch it when its healed!
the detail… wow!
oh my god, that’s amazing!…curious about the healing proces!
It almost looks like an english rose design. Very nice, and I’m not typically a huge fan of scarification.
God I cant imagine how that first shower felt…Wait. Yes I can. More brutal than the actual removal! hahaah
It’s beautiful.
Nice one Iestyn!
Wow, truly amazing!
Just takes my breath away
oh my GOD that is absolutely AMAZING. *stares in awe* huge kudos to artist and owner, that must have been an intense sitting! what a beautiful design, it suits so well. 😀
i adore the piece…not overly crazy about the location though
#22 ok 4 u and maybe ur right I sat for a week str8 once bettween tattoo and skin removal and differant artist and I can mos def remeber saying to myself(when my body went into a moderate to slight shock from head to toe thatmaybe so much work at once is 2 much ….but thats just me…also healing a larger area cleanly is a pain I like scarifcationbut the healing time and process can be intense but fuck it thatwas my face the leg peel the whole mother fucker off like chicken skin owell
No it was heavy shock to say the very least I was like ::O::
o-I-o

Wow, very beautiful. I don’t think I could do such a large piece in one go, but props to him! I’d love to see it all healed.
OK, I need to say it, I fucking love this piece. Strangely enough, it makes me think of a stained glass window like the ones you see in a church or something.
Respect to the customer for sitting through that whole thing and respect to the artist for pulling of such an amazing piece.
