As promised; more work from my friend Thorsten.
I bring this up a lot, but you can’t really predict how a cutting will heal; so many factors play into the end result. But going to a professional exponentially increases your odds of ending up with an amazing piece.
I’m seeing a LOT of folks getting into cutting; some of whom go about things the right way and learn from other professionals. Others just grab a scalpel (if we’re lucky) and start hacking up their friends.
Unfortunately there are very few sources for the aspiring scarification artist; and with that lack of availability there seems to be a justification of just doing it on your own. Sky Renfro and Fakir each offer courses; John Joyce and Wayde Dunn did a killer “introduction to scarification course” a few months ago that I’d love to see developed further… There are always options if you’re willing to devote time, travel and financial resources toward them.
