andygatesModBlog 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?

The fern and the butterfly looked very nice though.
I think I just prefer subtle tattoos.

In order to remove a piece of skin, first the area has to be outlined like a single cutting scarification, but on a minor depth level. Then with the help of a Kocher or dissection clamp the tissue to be removed is pulled back while "slicing" on the bottom to free the skin from beneath.
The gamble is that you never know quite how it will turn out. Which is why like all the other scarification approaches, the process is as important as the result.
