Check out this interesting facial scarification piece on ManiacAluf. It looks like a fairly deep removal, so I imagine it should make for an impressive scar down the road. The scars were done by Roland visavajara freiburg who made this in Zürich (InkTank).

….Love Hurts.
It hurts even more when it is proclaimed with cigarette burns.
On Modblog we feature some of the most amazing artistic scarification in the world. Yet, we often overlook the rarely updated ritual cutting and ritual branding galleries when looking for pictures to feature. In these galleries the scarification is rarely about the finished result and usually about the process.
For a picture of the process of this scar, keep on keeping on.

This scarification piece on Svenna (who apparently hates raccoons) is of Euler’s Identity, a mathematical equation known for it’s “mathematical beauty“. I read the wiki entry on it (twice) and I still have no clue what it means. In fact, I get a headache just thinking about it. Nonetheless, while I have minimal appreciation for mathematical beauty, I definitely can appreciate modified beauty and this scar is an excellent example of that.
This scar was done by modblog regular Brian Decker. He did the fill in with a hyfrecator as opposed to the more commonly used flesh removal technique. As you can see through the progressive pictures, the piece healed amazingly even. As an added bonus, according to Brian the hyfrecator method is also far quicker.
Brian is considering doing some work at the Philly Tattoo Convention, so if you are interested, hit him up on his IAM page or at purebodyarts.com.

This scarification piece was submitted by none other than Efix. I love the script that was used and look forward to seeing this healed.

So when I posted this cutting by Efix Roy a modblog commenter by the name of Tsarik left this comment:
>>so many of these cuttings look excellent when freshly done. do the wearers or artists have the foresight for how it will look when finished? so few of these cuttings are worth looking at when actually healed.<<
I understand her scepticism. I am generally of the “bold will hold” mindset , especially when it comes to scars. However, with the caliber of some of the artist that do these detailed cuttings, you should not be surprised to know a lot of them heal magnificently.
A perfect example of that is this awesome cutting that was done by Jonz of Sideshow Tattoo in Boise Idaho and Wayde Dunn.
Here it is fresh…
To see it healed in all of it’s glory, keep on reading.
…and here it is healed.
See, a modblog commenter asked ,and I answered. I am trying to make sure modblog covers what it’s readers want to see. That being said, I could use some suggestions from you guys.
