JesseV hit me up on IAM to let me know he’d just uploaded a photo of his latest scarification.I know I said I was going to fill up the rest of the day with pretty girls but I figured why not post a big cutting by a long time contributor to BME?

“This latest cutting of roses and an hour glass took approximately 6 hours in total on Jason Cain’s ribs. The original design was drawn by one of our tattoo artists here at Thrive Studios, Travis McGregor. It was a real fun piece to do!”

I hope you all had as fabulous of a weekend as I did. Let’s start off this calm and beautiful morning with a simple scarification on Sarasil by John Joyce of Scarab Body Arts in Syracuse, NY. As if John needs any kind of introduction. He’s a BME legend much like Brian Decker and Ron Garza.

Venis In Fur sends in her scarification by Ighlif. I’d be interested to know how old the cutting is because it doesn’t look like it was cut very deeply. It’s definitely a nice interpretation and placement considering the normal scarification in this area on women tends to be flowers or some other flowing piece. This one flows nicely and the placement is very fitting.

Included in her submission was the following quote:

“art cannot be modern. art is primordially eternal. to restrict the artist is a crime. it is to murder germinating life.”
