Speaking of “injuries that are not injuries”, I’m really liking the aesthetic of this faux-injury facial scar, cauterized by Quentin at Kalima (Worthing, UK). You can check out a close-up and a fresh photo after the break.

Lotus Scarification, Fresh and Healed
Written by
In relation to the previous entry with the large raised keloid, certainly not all scarification pieces result in raised healed products. Take this skin removal, done by John Joyce at Scarab Body Arts in Syracuse, NY:
Here it is healed, and as you can see it is more of a depression effect than a raising effect. Cutting style makes some difference, but by and large the nature of the keloiding is determined by a combination of aftercare (in general, the more aggressive the aftercare, the more keloiding — although it can be uneven — you will get) and genetics.

Healed Y-Incision Autopsy Scar
Written by
When I posted the Y-incision scar last spring it made quite an impression on people — it’s healed very nicely, with a nice solid raised keloid along most of its length. It was done on Singer by Brian of Pure Body Arts in Brooklyn, NY.

Inspired by SLAYER
Written by
I was wondering for how many people the first contact they had with cutting and scarification was Slayer artwork (a la the oft-emulated cover of “Serenity in Murder” in 1995) — I’d wager that for more people than might admit it that Slayer was what “flipped the switch”. Anyway, not that it’s the first time I’ve posted a Slayer scar (remember “GOD HATES US ALL“?), but a couple from the last update got me thinking about it again.
This first one, a nape cutting, and his first time behind the blade, was gingerly cut by Jasn at Pacific Rootz in Maui, Hawaii.
On the other hand, Matias went I think a little more metal with his DIY slayer scar, choosing to cut it first with a scalpel as well, but, not satisfied with the level of damage, followed it up with a recut/burn with a red-hot knife.
