SCARWARS

Canada’s own Jesse Villemaire filled the time between appointments at the first SW event back in 2005 by shooting pictures. I just came across a whole bunch of them and I’ll be cherry picking the best for future blog updates. (Thanks Jesse)

Tonight’s update is a non work-safe update featuring a pubic cutting by PBA’s Ryan Ouellette on our friend Joolie. Click through for uncensored images.

I could church up this entry and try to talk about how liberating it was for Vampy to do this piece topless; how Gillstrap wasn’t wearing a shirt either and that anatomically, there’s no difference. Instead I’ll say that Vampy is a great sport and cutting topless is fun.

I stole this from my friend Ammre.

A few weeks ago Claire and I headed up to Pittsfield, Mass for the annual ROP Campout; I was able to catch up with a few friends who had healed scars for me to photograph; one of them was the always impressive V, who you may remember from here, here, and here.

The dagger brand by Mister Decker @Pure with a hyfrecator unit and her public cutting (done at SW3) a collaboration by Wayde Dunn & Brian. The pubic piece turns two years old in about a week.

I’m not even going to try to attempt to explain how this photograph (by Atom Moore) came about.
The cutting (click through- not safe for work) is a collaborative piece by Wayde Dunn (left) and Brian “creepy eyes” Decker (right) and was done on my lovely friend V at SW3.

I’ve been sitting on the news that my good friend John Joyce finally asked the lovely Natalee to marry him for a few days now. It’s been killing me not to share the good news. Those of you lucky enough to know either of them know how awesome they are on their own; but teamed up they form one of the cutest couples this side of Claire and I. (you know it’s true!)

So congratulations John and Natalee… our love to you both!

Rachel photographed my old friend Bella Vendetta at our west coast SW event in 2006.

The cuttings- which were done approximately five years ago by Brian Decker, were rubbed with ashes from Bella’s mother. She had this to say about them:

“One of my favorite pieces and one that means the most to me, are two deep cuts on my ribs. Kind of like gills. They were very deep cuts and I had my mothers ashes rubbed into them so she could be with me all the time.”
