Today’s follow-up is a scar by my favorite frenchman, Efix. About 4 months ago he did a guest spot at Exotix in Toronto and did this anchor scar on Jessica2n2.
And here’s how it looks today.
As you can see it’s still a little uneven, with some lines being raised up more than the others. Over time these lines should even out, although being on the ribs there is a lot of movement there so it’s hard to say for certain.

Once again Friday is upon us, which means it’s time for another scarification follow-up post. Today’s scar is about 7 months old and was done by Anders on Chade‘s hand. You may recall seeing it back in January when I first posted it. Here’s how it looked when it was fresh:
And here’s how it looks 7 months later.

This week’s follow-up is taking a look at a scar done by none other than Ron Garza. These photos were uploaded around the same time, so I don’t have an exact time frame for the healing, but from what you can see, it’s looking good. Here’s how the scar looked when it was freshly cut.
And here’s how it looks today.
Personally, I love it when raised scars heal the same skin color as the rest of the body. It makes the scar appear to be a relief against the skin, and when lit right, provides for some incredible photos.
If you’ve got some scars that you want to share for an upcoming Friday Follow-up, simply upload them to BME, and they’ll pop up here soon enough.

One of our favorite Hungarian hunks is hitting the road soon and is looking for some places to visit. Gabor Zagyvai is currently looking for guest spots all over Europe, so if you’ve got a shop you’d like him to come visit, you can get in touch with him through his website or his IAM page. In the meantime, check out this swastika inspired scar he finished recently.

Ganesha is a deity the represents a number of things. He is the remover of obstacles, patron and arts and sciences, and deva of intellect and wisdom. Portrayed here as a cutting, one could interpret this piece as Ganesha removing the obstacle, in this case the skin, to allow the person to become who they want to be, using the art of scarification as the method of their transformation. Richard Effin Ivey has been putting out a lot of cuttings with spiritual connotations, and each seems better than the last.

Here’s some filigree scar work on Randi by the lovely Miss Dyscordic. Take note of all the fine details as you’re probably going to see this one again as a follow-up. Possibly as early as this Friday.

Occasionally we get submissions of modifications from people that aren’t new to them, but new to us. Ron Garza, in his travels around the world, doesn’t always have time to submit photos to his gallery, but when he does, you know it’s going to be special. This piece is a collaboration between Ron and Christian Bedics when the two of them were visiting Baduku, a shop in Rijeka, Croatia last October. Hopefully the next time Ron sends in photos we’ll get to see a follow-up of this piece.

Wow this week seems to have flown by. We’ve had ear pointing, foot tattoos-a-plenty, an interesting round of “Guess What?”, and of course the birthday of our own Sean Philips. Now that Friday is here, it’s time for this week’s follow-up. This week we’re looking at a scar we saw just over a month ago from Misty. Her Santa Muerte scar blended in Catholic imagery of Mary to create a good looking scar.
To see how it looks today, you know what to do.
There’s still a lot of healing to go and the scar will probably change as time goes on, but at this point it’s clear that the details in the cuts took, which should lead to a relatively even scar down the line. It wasn’t long ago that we saw Misty’s first attempts at scarification, but if her work continues to improve as it has, we can look forward to a lot of great looking scars from her in the future.

Next up for today we’ve got a scar from the man with the plan himself, Richard Effin Ivey. It’s a straight up cutting, but with the client being a body builder, that’s a pretty big scar. Those of you who know Rich can get a good idea of the size just by comparing it to the size of his head.

Every rose has its thorn,
Just like every knife has its blade,
Just like every cut has its drop of blood
Every scar has its wound.
