Intriguing... quite beautiful

Scarification is done by cutting deep with a surgical scalple. This Scarification is one of the nicest designs that I have come accross online (and it has healed very nicely).   Tatoos and body art intrigue me,, but Im WAY too much of a coward to have anything personally done. .. Would love to hear everyone elses thoughts on this art form, so I have reposted this blog.

  1. Oh my... very nice! On a very nice body. Not sure how it would fit my curves *rolls eyes*. So many reasons our body's get abused in life.... I dunno. I guess its better than cutting one self for ecstasy... least there is a purpose. I'm all for art forms but some of it I find a lil freakish. Check out this file of pics I took at the tatt convention in 08.... speaking of freaks. http://mimisplace.multiply.com/photos/album/22/Tattoo_convention_Montreal_08

    Who's to say what is art and what is auto mutilation.

    I don't get the pins inserted on the scalp to look devilish.... I DON'T get tongues getting cut up to look like snakes (thank higher powers my daughter changed her mind on that one)... I love nicely done tatts.. I got me one.

  2. YUP .. seen yr's Mimi. I was reading yr blog not long after you posted the pic on yr 360.. is very nice.Yr VERY brave.. I recall someone in chat saying that they could never never never get a tat.. lol Believe me, this needle phobic woman WILL never. Im not sure that I actually would want one to be honest. BUT I do love the artwork of many and as I said the why's intrigue me.. Ive had a few guys remove singlets or shirts when Ive commented on a tat on their arm etc ONLY to proudly show me the rest of their ink.. its rather amusing. Great conversation starter hey!

  4. I am not liking the scaring thing . I have many scars and they hurt . I do have 3 tattoos . One on my left shoulder . I did it to cover a scar from a car accident . beautiful birds taken from Japanese wood block printing from the fourth century . I have my fist on my butt . just a very small butterfly that my mother took me to get at 18 . Mom had a tattoo but had it removed when she was a model . I have one on my left calf , three canadian geese in a Haida design . I got the last one for free as I was dating the tatto artist . I still am friends with me . A great guy . I did get to see him pierce a cock once , ouch , not a pretty sight .

    I am with you Mimi , somethings are best left alone .

  5. So it's basically forced scaring. Sounds painful. It reminds me of the kinds of things you do with paper - I forget what the technique is called. It looks dainty and has a much different feel to it than a tattoo or piercing. A tattoo or piercing always gives me the impression of garishness, although I have seen tasteful examples of both. This seems very elegant in comparison.

  10. Some of it must be chance, but I bet a lot of it has to do with the skill of the cutter, or whatever they call the person who makes the cuts.

    I think you are correct about "twilling." That is what I was thinking of.
