BME: Body Modification Ezine

A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

  • The Friday Follow-up

    For this next scarification, we head back to Brooklyn, NYC where Brian Decker created this beautiful snail cutting/branding combo for IAM: Polareyez, which was featured back in October.

    Here’s how it looks today.

    As you can see, it’s much lighter than the scar I posted earlier today.  While it’s located on the lower abdomen, and it was cut by Brian, that’s where the similarities stop.  Genetics, skin type, aftercare, and many other factors can change how a scar forms on a person.

    One of the main reasons I started up the Friday Follow-up posts was to showcase just how varied scars can heal, in addition to showcasing the many talented scarification artists out there.  To date there have been over 60 follow-up posts, and I hope to continue the tradition as long as I can.  So artists, and those of you with scars, send in your photos to BME (both fresh and healed) so we can keep the Friday Follow-up going for another 60 weeks.

    Arseniy is no stranger to ModBlog, but it’s been a while since we last looked at just him.  Gone are his long golden locks, and unless I’m mistaken, there appears to be a beard under that mask.  For a guy who spends most of his time off camera behind the scenes, he does look like he belongs in front of one.

    The forearm implants were put in by Arseniy himself and the photographer is Ivan Zakharchenko.

    During last weekend’s Philadelphia Tattoo Convention the hotel rooms were full of all kinds of shenanigans.  Meanwhile, down on the convention floor, Brian was working hard on this and many other new scarification pieces.

    Dotwork tattoos are fascinating.  To create a complex image by hand using only single dots sounds like it would be mind-numbingly tedious, yet artists like geRi manage to make it look easy.
