Back in February, Efix & Jesse collaborated on Gabriel’s birthday cutting… Efix just checked in with a healed photo.
It has the dubious pleasure of being the first image to go up with the new “theme” I installed over WordPress.
Not sure if I’m married to it, but change is usually never a bad thing!
I think Brian originally posted this flesh removal back in November…. He finally posted a healed picture on his IAM.BME page which I took the liberty of stealing for the scar blog. Brian mentioned that the client plans to continue this design; can’t wait to see where he takes it.
Like I mentioned in the last post, I spent the better part of last week surrounded by people who never fail to amaze or inspire me. One of those folks is Ron Garza; I’ve known Ron for going on 15 years and he’s one of those characters that always one-ups your expectations.
He sent this Mosque cutting over earlier tonight with a promise to keep us updated on the healing.
You can always swing over to his blog at RonGarza.com for more info, appointments, etc
More photos follow the break-
I’ve spent the last few days in Las Vegas, unwinding and catching up with my extended family at the annual APP Conference. A yearly highlight is the time I get to spend with Dave Gillstrap. Usually poolside. Always surprising in scope and content, spending time with Dave is always entertaining and educational; we always seem to challenge our own passion for scarification by dissecting the current culture of both artist and client. I generally come out of these meetings re-energized and inspired.
Shortly after getting back to Philadelphia, Dave shared this cutting that he recently completed. He titled it “Tree of Life-ish”. Spectacular cutting by one of the nicest guys in the world.
Ron Garza just dropped this into my email box…
During a recent scarification workshop I was giving recently at BMX.net in Germany I was going to do a tissue removal workshop with the single line cutting workshop I also gave, but because of the design chosen( swastikas), and due to our understanding of certain legal factors at the time (like displaying a swastika in public, in Germany being Illegal), I decided not to have do the tissue removal workshop and had an impromptu workshop for a select few in a much more relaxed environment.
The design Lassi chose was in the shape of the Hindu good fortune swastikas, which most of you ( at least i hope most of you ) know is an ancient symbol over 3000 years old that only in our lifetime has became a symbol of hate.
It seemed fitting we do this in Germany , while listening to hip hop, and ironically enough, it was a brown man, making an Scandinavian Aryan bleed! I had to have a laugh and share with all of you.
Lassi being perpetually hungry, ended up disposing of the remnants.. ahh those Crazy Fins..
Living the Dream,
Ron Garza

From Efix:
Working on a friend is always very special for me. working on a
coworker or collegue, even more. Doing facial work holds a very
meaningfull place in my heart. combine those 3 and you get Frank’s
facial scar I did 2 days ago. It was quick and he handled it really
well. And the meaning behind it made it a true honnor for me to be
there and facillitate it for him. Thank you Frank!
