I have to admit, I’m still sometimes amazed by the radically different ways in which people may develop scars as a result of cuttings. Here we’ve got a pair (actually, a trio) of cuttings that illustrate this nicely. Up above is a scarification piece by Wendi from Ann Arbor, one year old at this point—healing well and evenly, leaving a somewhat faint scar. After the jump, another pair of cuttings by Wendi that took a wildly different turn.
Night and day? Night and day. The single-line around her breasts is six months old, and the lotus cutting is three months old. The wearer in this case is referred to as “my muse”—with good reason, it seems! Obviously, bits of the breast scar have underdeveloped in relation to the rest of it, but what a reaction nonetheless.

Whenever I see scarification like the second one I always wonder if it is uncomfortable for the person. I have a few keloids and they used to itch like crazy. They’re 2 years old now and still hurt sometimes, randomly and hurt like a bitch if i get sunburnt.
I love the design of both, but much prefer the scarring on the first.
I wonder was the second cut more deeply or did they just scar differently?

Hmmm well I don’t want to speak for Katie (the girl in the 1st pic) or Chelsea (the girl in the 2nd pic) but here is my input.
On the 1st scar I didn’t widen the lines very much, just enough to open them up because Katie’s design was very delicate and thin. The only clothing that caused irritation to her piece was a sports bra.
Chelsea is my muse and her scars raise like crazy. (she has been featured before for the circles (ovals) that I did on her chest). The underbust line was cut much wider than Katie’s piece. She had a couple of preexisting scars that I just touched lightly because she planned on getting injections from her dermatologist so they would decrease and we could even out the line later (so the line is inconsistent on purpose). Chelsea went a long time without a bra…..I think until she could no longer stand it. The lotus is our newest piece and it will be interesting to see how much more it raises and changes as time goes on.
I feel that how much Chelsea’s scars have raised is because they are on her chest and that is just the way she scars (from the accidental scars that were already on her chest).
I hope this helps!
