We’re kicking off this week with a milestone. This post marks the 30th time Mr. Efix Roy has been featured on ModBlog. I was hoping to save his 30th post making him a BME Boy, but the stars didn’t align in time and he managed to pull off a fantastic peacock feather scarification in just 2 hours.
So while Efix celebrates his 30th post, why don’t you head on over to his BME gallery and check out all the other works that have earned him this distinction.

This week’s follow-up marks a couple of milestones. For starters it is the first one to feature a collaborative project. It also marks the first time both Efix and Six have been featured in the Follow-up. This particular scar was done during the same week that gave us this scar back in November.
Without further ado, here’s the boys hard at work on IAM: LossIsYou’s leg.
We’ve been doing this for a few months now, you should know what to do.
And here is the leg a few months later.
You can view more of Efix’s works with Six in the scarification galleries.

…for a lifetime of enjoyment.
That’s exactly what JakeMindsnared went through over the weekend at the Surf N Ink International Tattoo Convention down on the Gold Coast in Australia.
Anders started working on the scar at the convention center, but when it was time for the show to end, he still wasn’t finished. So they packed up, walked down the street and finished up at Anders’ shop. According to Jake, the processes was grueling as the noise of the convention and the change of locale made it nearly impossible for him to concentrate, leaving him unable to focus on anything other than the pain.
Head over to Anders’ BME portfolio gallery to check out all the the incredible procedural shots. From the laying of the stencil to the final cuts, it’s all there.

This week’s scar goes back to September of 2009. Eroswastika’s negative space swastika scarification isn’t his first appearance in the Friday Follow-up, he actually has the distinction of being the first artist featured in the weekly column.
If you’re wondering where the blood is, I imagine that this was taken right after the site had been cleaned after the flesh removal. Well, it’s been more than a year now since it was cut, so keep reading to see how it looks today.
If you want to check out more of Ighlif’s work, you can find it in the scarification galleries.

While the origins of Baphomet, a pagan/masonic/templar deity, are somewhat convoluted and mildly confusing, this scar on the other hand is nice and clear. Although, like the deity, the origins of this scar are somewhat of a mystery as there was no artist credit included in the upload. From the rest of the photos, which you can find in the scarification gallery, it is a collaborative piece done by the gentlemen with the head lamps in the photo.
If you recognize any of the guys in the photo, please let me know so I can give them the credit they’re due.

Earlier this week we got to take a look at a fresh cutting by Anders. Well it turns out that fresh cutting on JakeMindsnared was actually done over 9 months ago. This means, not only do we have a follow-up from earlier in the week, but also a look back at an earlier scar that Anders did on Jake.
So here’s Jake’s rhino scar just as it was finished, over a year ago.
To see how both this scar, and the horn scars look today, keep on reading.
So, after a year for the rhino, and nine months for the horns, here’s how they look.
To see more healed pics, as well as more photos from both scarification sessions, head on over to Anders’ scarification portfolio gallery.

It makes scar tissue out of ordinary flesh! What is it you ask? It’s the skilled blade of Anders the Piercing Guy. Take a look below at just what his blade did to JakeMindsnared’s chest.
The rhino scar on his abdomen is also by Anders and is 3 months old at the time this photo was taken. You can check out more of Anders’ work in his BME portfolio gallery, and if you keep reading you can see a couple of shots from the procedure.
The rest of the photos can be found in Anders’ gallery.

Gabor is no stranger to getting ModBlogged, so when I saw that he had submitted a new crop of images to his scarification portfolio I knew we were in for a treat. I’m not going to get into the religious significance behind the inverted pentacle, as it can mean multiple things to different people, instead let’s just check out an amazing large scale scar piece.

This Friday Tuesday Follow-up is going to be the last one of the year, and since I’ll be on my way to the BME New Year’s Eve party on Friday, I thought I should get it to you guys and gals as soon as possible.
This week’s scar was sent in by the lovely Miss V. At last year’s Philly Tattoo Convention, Brian sat down to carve out these honeysuckles onto V’s back. Here’s what it looked like back then.
To see how it looks today, you know what to do.
And yes, she had just stepped out of the shower to take that picture. Taking a look at V’s scar gallery on her IAM page, this isn’t the only scar she has that has healed beautifully. In fact, this isn’t the only scar she has that Brian has done. You can check out more in his BME scar portfolio.
