I’ve seen the piece before (and maybe even posted it), but I quite like seeing this skin removal scarification on Rumiko, done by Ryan during his Japanese tour, with the subject of the portrait.

Dice Tattoos and Scars

“Heh, heh, I rolled a 20, I win”, says Donkey Boy…
Or then there’s this dice cutting and skin removal, by Castillo at Mithos Tattoo in Caracas, Venezuela.

Star Scar Leg
Written by
Perhaps you remember a while back when I posted these super hot leg star cuttings. They’re now at three months old, and I thought you might like to see how they’re doing. Definitely still very hot!
They’re on nyne who I really, really hopes enters the contest (top entry today).

Dave Gilstrap = God of Cutting
Written by
It is extremely rare for me to get a photo from scarification artist Dave Gillstrap and not be totally wowed. This recent work he did in Oaxaca, Mexico, is no exception. Dave has previously been mentioned here quite a bit: anchor cuttings, best scar bodysuit (see also: scarification bodysuit), and a brief scar video.

Tattooed Scarification Mosaic
Written by
OK, I didn’t think I was going to post anything else today but this piece is just so sweet that I had to add it. It’s on tigricula and was originally a kind of crappy tattoo. Then Brian (click on his name, he loves it when you do that), and then once it was well healed, it was touched up with tattooing by The Milkmaid (both at PURE in NYC).
It’s my personal believe that some of the high detail scarification that’s being done these days may not stand the test of time, but when you combine scarification with tattooing, you almost create an altogether new form of body art that I think we’ll see much more of in the future!
PS. Thanks to Rebekah from Modified News for the tip!

It’s not really a cutting…
Written by
OK, it is a cutting, but not like you think — it was done using an electrical hyfrecator turned up into cut mode, rather than with a blade. Thanks to Brenno from Body Factory in Trieste, Italy for continuing to send in photos of his great work.

Carved Moko
Written by
Evildustin‘s face brand by Johnkid at The Piercing Lounge in Madison, WI looks like it’s healing nicely so far… If I remember right, in Maori culture there were two ways of doing a facial tattoo. One was similar to normal tattooing, and the other is more like a combination of wood carving and ink rubbing, and left a three dimensional “tattoo”, rather than just the image. This hyfrecator branding reminded me of that…
Oh, and for the record, I have never heard Dustin call this a moko or make similar references, so please don’t post a message claiming he’s being disrespectful or committing some other cultural appropriation sin. That said (and I mention this because I saw a Maori reader on Tanya’s body modification blog), maybe someone can post with more information.

Full-side Bird Scarification
Written by
Yesterday I showed a great full body scarification project, and today I wanted to share with you another very impressive large scale scarification. This cutting and skin removal was done at this year’s Scar Wars event in Los Angeles on IAM:HoleyHell187 by Wayde Dunn and Ryan Ouellete.
It is of course still healing in this photo!

Best Scarification Bodysuit in the World?
Written by
Personally I think that Whitespace currently wears the single best scarification bodysuit in the world. I don’t think there’s a nicer piece that’s at the scale of his work. What you see in this photo is all by the monstrously talented Dave Gillstrap (visit the Dave Gillstrap scarification photo gallery on BME).
