Once again Friday is upon us, which means it’s time for another scarification follow-up post. Today’s scar is about 7 months old and was done by Anders on Chade‘s hand. You may recall seeing it back in January when I first posted it. Here’s how it looked when it was fresh:

The second I saw this photo I knew it would make for an excellent Guess What post. No hints this time. You’re on your own, so good luck.
Once you’ve made your guess, read on to see if you’re right.
Even when I first saw the whole image it took me a moment to realize that it was a frenulum pulled through a PA.
Here’s a look from the other side which should give you a better idea of how this works.
I’m going to be shocked if anyone managed to get this right without checking the galleries first.

Here’s another dotwork tattoo by Sonja. This one was inspired by crop circles, and you can really see how precise she can be when she does geometric designs. I think what stands out most for me is that it isn’t about the dots, but rather the negative spaces that make up the core of the tattoo.

Lolben knocks it out of the park with his combination Zelda/Dark Crystal torso. Not only is this probably one of the biggest geek pieces I’ve seen, but it’s also really well done. Hats off to Aaron Cooper from Staircase Tattoo in Santa Cruz, CA for this epic masterpiece.

It’s no secret that body modification can be a spiritual experience for people. So it shouldn’t come as a shock to see spiritual symbols appearing in every form of modification. Take this lotus/Om scarification by Jesse Villarreal. To some people getting cut for a scarification piece is a way for them to feel a sense of transcendence. The fact that this experience is coupled with a very spiritual image just makes it all the more significant.
