The Friday Follow-up

By Rob • Feb 24th, 2012 • Category: ModBlog

For this next follow-up we leave the cold winter weather of the northeast, and head even further north to Guelph, ON where a scarification artist from the sunny southwest created this triskelion for Huxley.  We first saw this scar right here, back in July of last year.

Seven months down the road, here is what the scar looks like.

This Steve Haworth creation is looking great.  The lines are well defined and the it looks like most of the redness has faded to the point where the scar colour nearly matches her skin tone.



The Friday Follow-up

By Rob • Feb 24th, 2012 • Category: ModBlog

So it just dawned on me that I haven’t posted a Friday Follow-up in a while.  To make up for lost time, today is going to be made up entirely of scarification follow-up photos.  We’ve got scars from three different artists, and two of the scars are by the same artist, but show just how different scars can heal from person to person.

To kick things off today we’ve got a lower abdomen scar from Brian Decker.  What’s interesting to note is just how pronounced the keloiding has made the scar.  The reason I’m bringing this up is because the next post today will be another abdomen scar by Brian.

If you look close you can see that Brian used a scalpel for most of it, but then switched to branding to shade it.

As I said, this is only the first of many follow-up posts today.  Come on back in a little bit to see the rest of them.

This would have been a follow-up post, however I couldn’t find the original in the galleries, so you’ll just have to do with the healed pic.

Symbolically Scarred

You’ll have to ask Brian Decker what all of the symbols in this Ganesha scar mean.



Grinding the Gears

During last weekend’s Philadelphia Tattoo Convention the hotel rooms were full of all kinds of shenanigans.  Meanwhile, down on the convention floor, Brian was working hard on this and many other new scarification pieces.



An Aztec Scarab

Ok, so this probably isn’t actually an Aztec symbol for a scarab, but it is by John Joyce who owns and operates Scarab Body Arts in Syracuse, NY

Wood Carving 101

By Rob • Feb 2nd, 2012 • Category: ModBlog

Carving someone’s name into a tree is one thing.  Carving someone’s name, and the tree, in flesh is another thing altogether.

This particular carving was done by Richard ‘Effin’ Ivey.
