That has to be one of the coolest pieces of scarification I’ve seen to date - I wonder how well it will heal tho?
Nicest scarification I have ever seen :)
wow, that’s really impressive
Yay for Tiff. I can’t wait to see how its turned out at the weekend. :)
Look carefully…..DUDE IS THAT A PENIS?!?
i don’t know why, but this is stunning to me
That is really nice.
Especially for self-done
Some people will see a penis in anything… lol.
I wouldn’t go as far as saying this is the best i’ve seen… but definetly the best self done scarifications!
beautiful…
thats awesome.
It’s very beautiful. But…. is it SUPPOSED to be that deep and choppy at the bottom?
I don’t see penis I see nipple though :)
i’m in love with that
It does look a lot like female genitalia…both in the raw pinkness, and the fact that the seashell has been a motif for that sort of thing for a while now.
Awesome! That is so cool how do you do it?
Am I the only one that just sees a seashell? Anyhow, very pretty.
I think the “look, a penis” is a reference to the nautilus tattoo posted here some time ago that supposedly looked like a penis. It’s a joke.
That is beautiful!
I got that part when I read Ant’s comment, but it seemed as though some other people were taking it seriously, anyhow I meant it as a light hearted comment as well.
Impressive, me likes =)
Yeah although I am a big fan of pointing out things that look like a penis, this doesn’t and i was making a loving reference to the nautillus guy being a jerkoff.
On a serious note im quite impressed by this. I havent looked at a great deal of scarification, and this is the first I’ve seen that is less ‘big-chunky-outlines’ and more of a kinda flesh sculpture. e.g. it actually looks like a shell. I’d be interested to see how it looks once its healed.
Stunning, simply gorgeous :)
That looks fabulous! I love it!
that is very impressive for a DIY. I will be curious to see the final product since it *looks (can’t really tell size from the pic) a little small.
the skin removal looks uneven, and rather than create width by skin removal in the shell details, it was created by the depth of the cuts. definitely d-i-y. wonder how it healed.
I swear it looks like a real shell
we need an up to date shot i think everyone would agree!!
to *ME ‘definatly diy’?? this is a really great piece and if that looks low quality and DIY then im curious to see all your professional scarification pieces. the idea is unique and i think its wonderfully executed.
