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.

  • Does it snow in Australia?

    Shows how ignorant I am. All I know is they do scars there. Seriously, I have no idea if it does or not (I’m guessing it never does in Maroochydore?). Anyway, these gorgeous snowflake cuttings were done by Wayde Dunn at Puncture Body Piercing in Maroochydore, Qld, Australia.

  • Gears Scarification

    I like Branislav’s skin removal by hell.cz:

  • Pentagram Torso Cutting

    Actually, if I remember right (and I hope I’m not double-posting this), it’s a cutting over a branding. Great lighting too! By Solidtube (Brenno) in Italy:

  • “Face Technology”

    Lukas Zpira recently did this facial skin removal — you can click through to get a closeup image as well. That reminds me, I have (much less intense) facial cuttings by Lukas (done in Mexico) that I really need to write an experience about!!!

  • Twoleg: Scar or Cut

    Care of Mr_Hyde, I like this balanced out blackwork tattooing versus cutting outline calf sleeve… The two techniques work very nicely together. Done by Pialla at La Vecchia Bezzy in Barcelona.

  • Nice Curves!

    I’m talking about the chest cutting — smooth curves like this sankofa design can be a challenge. This was done by Brian at Pure Body Arts in Brooklyn, NY. I wanted to mention again that because there are so few advanced and experienced practitioners in this world that if you live in an area where there isn’t anyone, you can organize a tour… In general, all you have to do is get a small number of people together that guarantee enough appointments to make the tour possible — convince your friends/customers!

  • Cut off head scarification

    Steve Truitt just did a cutting and skin removal intended to leave a scar reminiscent of a head that’s been torn off! There’s another session to go to make the scar go all the way around, and sutures will also be used to give it a realistic look. Got a hankerin’ to similate an amputation? Visit him at Stay Gold Tattoo and Body Modification in Albuquerque, NM.

  • “TATTERED AND TORN” skin removal

    …And a healed “HATE ME” as well, by Paulo “Sheetos” Vitor at Caos Body Art in Barra Bonita/SP, Brasil. I wonder if this will generate a similar response to Michelle’s tattoos? Because it is highly unlikely that it will, I wonder why not — personally I think they’re both perfectly fine to get, but I do think they’re in the same general territory…

  • Butterfly Cutting

    More great work by Brenno at Body Factory in Trieste, Italy, with this cleanly cut butterfly nape design.

  • When scartists get bored?

    By Paulo “Sheetos” Vitor at Caos Body Art in Barra Bonita, SP, Brasil.
