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.

  • The Friday Follow-up

    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.

  • The Friday Follow-up

    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.

  • The Friday Follow-up

    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.

  • On the road

    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.

  • Cutting away obstacles

    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.
