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.

  • Marriage Scars

    These matching diamondplate pattern cuttings were done by Lewis Dodd in Valentia, Spain, on Abi and Will as a part of their marriage.

  • The ever suffering pigmen

    Charles at Dragon FX (Edmonton, Alberta) practices his electrocautery branding skills by working on a pig’s leg (photo: blackjettas).

  • Nice big Austrlian keloids

    A while back (in March) I showed an amazing Mayan cutting by Wayde DunnAngelinpayn just shot this picture of it and it’s still looking incredible, even more so than last time I think.

  • Tattoo + Cutting Combo

    It is nice, I like!

  • Lucky BMEboys Saturday 9/15

    PoisonousPennington shows the skin removal that Brian did on his leg when they met up in Toronto before BMEfest — in this photo it’s about a month old.

  • Lucky BMEboys Saturday 14/15

    This is an older picture — from back in May — so you can check Evildustin‘s page to see how it’s doing, but it’s healed in this picture… It was done electrically, but it harkens back to old-style Maori tattooing which was more closely related to wood carving than face painting, and left deep scars like this.

  • GOD HATES US ALL

    That’s for sure. Read the Bible if you don’t believe SLAYER — you’ll see that human history contains no cruelty and evil as great as that allegedly perputrated by God and his various avatars and representatives. This great cutting was done by Andre Fernandes at Tattoo You in Sao Paulo, Brasil.

    Anyway… Small update here for you today, but I’ll be posting over 4000 images to BME later today as well (c/o Phil), and of course videos as well (c/o Roo)… And I’m working on a BMEboys day for either the weekend or the start of the week. Enjoy!

  • All About Love

    Brenno at Body Factory in Trieste, Italy, sends in this great skull scarification, along with the heart-shaped eyes removed in clean single pieces.

  • I heart Komando

    OK, these are actually posts I’d planned for yesterday, so if I can squeeze in some more time to type, expect another batch later today or if not certainly tomorrow.

    Anyway, I think I’ve mentioned here before what a big fan I am of Komando‘s modifications… I just love these big facial cuts she had done by Manny in Buenos Aires, Argentina!

  • Chemical Scarification

    Probably the rarest form of scarification, chemical scarification (like in Fight Club), is something that I hardly ever get to see… These are self-done by Zav in Bendigo, Australia, using masking tape to mark off and isolate the area. Four layers of paint strippers were used to eat away the skin, waiting about fifteen minutes between each application. A bit of skin would peel off with no bleeding. Pain was minimal at first but became more painful in later applications. A leathery scab (which Zav describes as similar to dried rabit skin) formed, and in the oldest photo it’s at 25 days (so I suppose this is one of the more successful scarifications of this type that I’ve seen).
