It’s pretty rare these days that i get asked to do a branding, so I was pretty excited to do this Taurus piece. She sat like a champ through the whole thing. Hopefully I’ll get some new pics of it as it heals and I’ll get those posted as well. I’m the process of getting some...
It’s been too long since we’ve put up anything by the lovely Christiane of Oslo; in order to fix that… a really well executed (and may I say “pretty”) floral cutting.

Efix has been working on a lot of Buddhist inspired pieces lately; his latest one (on client Julie) is of the Five Wisdoms. (which you can read more about here: Five Wisdoms Wiki)
The intricacy of the design works really well with the subject matter; I’ll bug Efix for healed photos to see how it’s progressing.
Welcome to 2010, Scarwarriors.
I’ve been taking a bit of a break from updating the Scarblog, but now I’m back and ready to get the fun train rolling.
My friend Matias sent this one in; a healing shot of his amazing demon cutting we featured back in November. Great progress and texture.
I hadn’t planned on updating tonight, but as I sat down to watch a movie and prepare for the threat of a major snowstorm I happened upon new cutting by my poutine loving friend Efix Roy.
He says this lettering took approximately two hours. Clean work as always. I’m counting the months till my summer trip to spend some time in Quebec City with Efix- until then….
Tabarnak!
Another pic from Thorsten!
I have so many amazing cuttings from Thorsten to choose from that I just couldn’t help using one more this week; with amazing work from Rata, Lewis, Capo and Thorsten over the last few updates we’ve covered two continents and more than a few countries.
My hellish Holiday Season is almost over; regular updates will commence soon and the much delayed books/shirts will finally ship.
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.
