Wow! (Scarification)

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?
