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.

i know people say this all the time, but i’m never grossed out by anything on this website. however that second scar picture… i could not live with something like that on my body.

Hm, I don’t know.
I think I could live with it.
But I also really like the way it looks. haha.
The one under the breasts is kind of intense though.
I wouldn’t really shoot for that look.
I really want to see a cutting like this in person!

that line looks uncomfortable if she wears a wire bra
must have been cut to deep
i think she was aiming for something less then what it is
will see later how it looks

I have a few scar pieces and man, I’d LOVE to keloid like that. Beautiful really. I just want to touch it!

wohw, amazing. Did you heal them differently or is it just different ways of cutting?
I want to touch it too ^^

Wow that is insane!!! It always amazes me how different people scar. On the one hand I really really want to touch the second scar, but at the same time it also kind of grosses me out haha. I like raised scars, but in the case it’s a bit too much for me.

Hmmm, I think I still prefer scars associated with a (non-self induced) traumatic incident, like car collisions and open heart surgery. However, if I scarred like chick #2 I think I’d be more reckless with tools and knives and things, hoping, just hoping to get a sweet scar.

If the scar running below her breasts are three months old they are hypertrophic .
“…hypertrophic scars are characterized by erythematous, pruritic, raised fibrous lesions that typically do not expand beyond the boundaries of the initial injury and may undergo partial spontaneous resolution. Hypertrophic scars are common after thermal injuries and other injuries that involve the deep dermis.
Hypertrophic scars and keloids can be described as variations of typical wound healing. In a typical wound, anabolic and catabolic processes achieve equilibrium approximately 6-8 weeks after the original injury. At this stage, the strength of the wound is approximately 30-40% that of healthy skin. As the scar matures, the tensile strength of the scar improves as a result of progressive cross-linking of collagen fibers. At this point, the scar is usually hyperemic and it may be thickened, but it tends to subside gradually over months until a flat, white, pliable, possibly stretched, mature scar has developed. When an imbalance occurs between the anabolic and catabolic phases of the healing process, more collagen is produced than is degraded, and the scar grows in all directions. The scar is elevated above the skin and remains hyperemic. Excessive fibrous tissue is classified as either a keloid or a hypertrophic scar.”
In most cases the excessive scarring with resolve itself.

@3 i was sort of thinking the same thing, the breast scar might have just been irritated more by bras and the like.

WOW! the bottom cutting is beautiful and fantastically compliments a lovely pair of breasts

Wow! I think I just came. The first photo is beautiful, the image of the flower+ the healed effect makes it look whimsical/soft.
Im not as moved with the second photo, and how dominant it looks, but on the plus side, I think the scars accentuates her full breasts
Either way its a win win=)

@8: The single line under her breasts is 6 months old, not 3. As such, it is significantly more developed than the lotus. The portions with “excessive” scarring will resolve itself, as that is the way the body works, but the thickest portions will be visible for the longest as the rest of the scar also continues to mature and fade.
Personally, I like the top picture more. NOT because of the extent of the scarring, but because I think the design is superior.
