Almost 2 years ago Modblog made this post about my friend Robin’s scarification piece that was done for her at Scarwars. It was a well done piece by a respected artist, yet now (almost 3 years after it was originally done) it has all but vanished.
Robin, sent me these pics and asked if I would be interested in posting them here. Of course i was interested. This is an important thing for people to see. Robin (like myself) is not prone to scarring heavily and even the best work, and most diligent aftercare isn’t enough to guarantee the raised and highly visible scar that was desired. I post this not to discourage people from getting scarification work done, but to educate them of the realistic possibilities it will not end up as bold as intended.
For two more shots, keep on keeping on.

I wouldn’t say that all of it was done for nothing. Scarification brings a lot more than just a final product.

Mine has faded in a similar way, but I find myself liking it more. Scars are so unique because they heal and move based entirely on your body.

I think its really cool that way, so long as it stays that way and doesnt completely fade out.

My scarifications, only about a year old, are also already fading.
One of the things I love about my scars though, is their constant evolution. Unlike a tattoo, the healing is a large part of the appeal, at least to me.

I guess it isn’t for nothing, but it’s still a bummer. I mean I like how scars change and fade overtime but I’d be disappointed if a big piece like that faded to that extent.

Since ive gotten psoriasis i haven’t gotten any scars except from sutures and piercings. I’m not sure the exact reason but the gene that causes psoriasis greatly reduces scarring, and 1 out of every 10 people have that gene.

I had a scar piece done on my calf, all single-line, no removal. It healed up very subtly by design (I didn’t aggitate, pick, or otherwise mess with the wounds) and I really like it that way. I guess it’s what you’re going for, I suppose.

I don’t like the last sentence in my previous post, so allow me to revise it.

I’ve always wondered about this, glad you posted it. I don’t scar easily and the times i’ve thought I would have pretty brutal scars are all faded now. I don’t think that mine would last either, sadly 🙁

Shame that it’s faded so much… I know when I was considering getting a scarification piece (before I realized that I liked the look of the red more than the healed scar), I was going to have it shaded with tattoo ink so the cut lines would be really defined.
I still think it looks pretty neat, though 🙂
