I’m admittedly biased when it comes to facial scarification. Bold simplicity; putting your scar out there in the public eye. This is Charles Finnie’s first cutting featured on the Scarblog, but I have a few more lined up that’ll drop as time permits.

Facial Cutting by Efix Roy

I was leaving the house to try a new restaurant (Adsum, Philadelphia) that offers Foie Gras poutine, and I stumbled upon this cutting done by Quebec City’s own Efix Roy. Efix and I have a lot of things in common; scarification, good times, body modification, cured meats…. but the two things that hold our friendship together as strongly as glue are Foie Gras & Poutine.

So is this all a coincidence? I think not.

Great job, Efix!

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!

Cutting by Lewis Dodd, Glorybound Tattoos, UK

I couldn’t really resist the SCARFACE tagline on this entry. Apologies.

Fresh facial scarification usually comes with a cringe factor that’s easy enough to understand. While the results usually heal much softer than most of us would like, a newly cut/branded face can be fairly shocking at first glance. Most visible modifications become public domain; tattooed hands/necks usually guarantee interaction (wanted or not) but with a facial scar people want to know “what happened” but propriety usually keeps them from asking.

Another quiet night for Claire and I….
Didn’t have a chance to dig up anything interesting for tonight’s update so you guys have to settle for a picture of my bloody face circa 2005. The cutting was by Brian Decker, the photo by Allen Falkner.

Have a good night!

My friend Jared recently joined the facial scarification club with this electrocautery brand done by Gregory in Columbus Ohio using a Ellman Surgitron unit. Picture of the healed branding follows after the jump.

We’ll try to get a better shot of the healed brand; but in the meantime-
