Apparently IAM:serpenttitties is a cereal killer (at first I thought this was a chef’s cutting). Cutting and removal by Meg Barber at Beelistic Tattoo and Piercing in Cincinnati, OH.

Strike Branding Video
Written by
I haven’t posted a video in some time, even though my old friend Jonathan Piercing has very generously sent me a nice pile of them (some of the heavier ones are on BMEvideo)… So I’m going to start posting them so everyone can enjoy them! I’ll start with his XXX stomach strike branding. I enjoyed this video a lot because it really captures the fun and emotion and endorphin response of this artform. [Especially] those of you who’ve had strike branding done I think will enjoy this also.

For those of you looking for a less threatening scar, here’s a very cute little (about two and a half inches in size) scar done by Efix at D-Markation in Quebec city, Canada.

Chicks Dig Need Scars
Written by
Since I’ve started now, furthering the theory that “Shannon is a bad, bad man”, I will now make the confession that I find scars like this incredibly attractive… I’ve always been drawn to marred beauty — I think the vulgarity of the scar on top of otherwise pristine flesh brings out something that’s otherwise hidden. Yes, I also have a J.G. Ballard-esque car crash fetish.
Thanks to a revenant for the photo (and the 14ga sternum piercing is by Matt at Mystic in Crofton, MD).

Thanks to my friend SilverSweets in Singapore for this “matching mods” photo of a series of forearm implants and a cutting (lots more great shots on her page):

Daddy, where do stars come from?
Written by
Like many things enjoyed in America, stars come from Mexico, build by the blood, sweat, tears, and yes, even flesh, of the Hispanic proletariat. These photos were smuggled out by my friend Abel at the star production factory Evolution here in Mexico.

High-res Scarification Video
Written by
I was doing some codec testing earlier today to decide what I should be using, and I thought that I ought to share the test video publicly. This is a 1:45 long clip of Lukas Zpira doing a giant Tibettan cutting and skin removal on IAM:Whitespace (featured here before).

When I have time I’ll post a proper version. And finally, since I’m always asked, the music playing in the background is a cover of Science Fiction Double Feature (from RHPS) by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

Anchor Cuttings
Written by
I’ve showed work by the brilliant scarification artist Dave Gillstrap here before, but he just got back from an art tour in Vancouver and I’d like to post this shot to show how he builds up a cutting. Dave has a unique form of textural cutting that allows him to both create bold outlines that hold the piece together, but also “shading” using a series of lighter cuts.
Here’s a fresh example of his work on IAM:taryn:
I’ll try and remember to post a healed picture of this in six months, but do check out some of his other work on ModBlog like the geisha scar or this bodysuit… and he also has a mini-portfolio on BME.

Scarification Videos
Written by
Here’s a quick pair of scarification videos for you. The image quality isn’t the greatest on either of them, which is unfortunate because in each case it’s a very nice example of cutting art.
