Wow! (Scarification)

[andygates]

ModBlog has a couple of stunning shots of a chap getting a Vitruvian Man scarification
backpiece (WARNING: Not worksafe! SI-triggering! Gory!) in this new precision-cutting style.  The level of detail, the sheer technical workmanship of it, is just awesome.  And they seem to heal nicely too (NWS again!  Boobies!).

Though - and this from a chap who got a ring through his knob, don't forget - that's really got to freaking hurt.  I mean, worse than suspension hooks.  But maybe I just grok not.  Certainly its another technique that, like dermal anchors, is producing some interesting hybrid pieces (tattoo/scar butterfly looking almost like stained glass; tattoo with bling anchor sparkle). 

Now where's the mammoth ivory when I need it?

I think the combination of scarring and tattoo is beautiful. Can't decide if I like the affect that gives or the frond of scar tissue best.

My tattoo tickled. I somehow doubt I'd have that reaction to cutting, but I'd have to try it to know for certain.

Teh Boy asked me the other day how long I felt it would be before there were animated and talking tattoos. I can see voice via chips coming soon, but motion seems distant...

I'm working on luminous. It's a start, at least until we get nanoswarm smart ink (e-paper won't cut it).
