Nothing much to say here except I thought this was a funny photo.
The title as sent was “Attempt to self pierce… failed.”

Travel Photos

I mentioned John Durante of Laughing Buddha in Seattle a few entries back… Since I also recently posted about the rituals in Phuket, I thought I’d post a picture from his travels in Trang, Thailand (2001) — I wonder why this guy chose handcuffs?
More from his travels; here’s a picture of him and his Punan grandmas in Punan Ba, Sarawak, Borneo back in 1999.

Hello Kitty Cutting
Written by
I showed a nice Hello Kitty tattoo a few entries back. Hello Kitty tattoos are quite popular (I’ll do an entry on them some time soon perhaps), but cuttings not so much, so I thought I’d post this nice example by Brenno at Body Factory in Italy. On the off chance that any Italians are reading this, please support the efforts of the Italian Association of Professional Piercers and Tattooists.

An entry containing scars
Written by
They say once you go black you never go back, right? I can’t vouch for genital size, but I can tell you that when it comes to scarification I’ve seen some of the most stunning work on dark skin — this example, fresh and healed, is by John Durante of Laughing Buddha in Seattle, Washington.
It’s not uncommon to see pale skin actually heal indented rather than with a raised keloid. Here’s an example (four weeks old) by Rox in Kennewick, Washington.
On the off chance that’s a white power logo (which I don’t have any reason to believe), let me preemptively balance out my karma with a peace sign… And I’m sure you’ve wondered what an electrocautery brand on the palm of the hand looks like, right? Here’s a before and after from Shawn O’Hare at The Pain Parlor in Oxnard, California.
Speaking of unusual locations for scarification, here’s an ear brand by Matt Bruce:
Let’s see what else is in my scar folder to tell you about… here’s a big full back cross branding (healed) being play pierced. Photo c/o Kent Fazekas at Outer Limits in Long Beach.
Finally, we can’t forget scarification by body piercing! Here’s the result of a couple tries at a nape piercing (rejection)… as you can see they’ve moved on to new territory and haven’t given up yet!
