Ron Garza travels more than some pop singers and by and large has a lot less (televised) meltdowns than Brittney or Beiber. He recently traveled to Croatia, where he did this collaborative piece with our new friend Christian Bedics. You can check Ron’s blog out at here for more of his travel misadventures!

Christiane from Pinpoint is one of the few scarification artists I know who really runs with ink rubbing scarification. This piece is shown fresh (left) and at seven weeks (right) into healing.

I have people ask me “why don’t they just get tattooed” when it comes to ink rubbing. There’s no one size fits all answer; it’s different for every person who has a rubbed cutting.

Check out the INK RUBBING tag for more!

I always love featuring new work by Efix Roy; today he’s checking in with some “tricky, tiny” flesh removal. I’ve seen really impressive results with flesh removal on the fingers- as always, we’ll try to update with a healed photo when/if they become available.

You can find Efix at Quebec City’s D-markation or through a guest spot.

Scarification by Bruno

I think this might be the first cutting we’ve featured by my friend Bruno; and it hopefully won’t be the last.
You can see more of his work/get in contact with him through his his website.

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!

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!

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.

Christiane can be reached via: http://www.pinpoint-piercing.no/

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.
