My first scarification piece by Anders - Photos.
This piece was masterfully completed by Anders, The Piercing Guy at Dragon's Lair Tattoo in Marsden, QLD Australia. The quality of the work is
absolutely amazing, and I couldn't be happier. Anders is a fantastic artist, and in general a fantastic person to be around. I plan to take a photo
of my piece daily as it heals so that I can keep track of it, and I'll try to upload those pictures onto here as I go along, just because I would have
found it interesting to see something like that before I had my work done. SO! I hope that you enjoy these photos, and another great big thanks to
Anders for his awe-inspiring work!
Before....
Stencil...
Half outline....
Initial outlines....
Numbing gel....
A little deeper, now....
Anders, doing his thing...
First star, removed!
Second star, removed!
Third and final star removed, finished product!

Thanks! I'm rather a fan of it myself. I'll tell you what though... I'm on day two of the healing, and the pain while I'm cleaning it is almost
unbearable. Right now, I'm SO thankful that I won't be irritating it.
Anyway, here's a photo from last night, day 1 of healing....
It's just some crappy shot taken with my phone, but you can see the piece, so that's all that matters.

640 x 480 pixels is a pretty universal standard.
Just as long as it's not any wider than about 700 pixels it'll be fine =)

Awesome. Hope it 'heals' up nicely.
I've been thinking about getting some knife work but until now have been a little cautious. I'll definatly be looking up the Marsden boys when I'm
back down that way. My olds only live just around the corner.
I would love a Tattoo and Scarification project. Old album cover (zepplin etc) art with cut highlights.

What is it that's held you back from the idea, Sparksy? And thanks for the well wishes, too. ^_^

as per usual anders did a top job on the removal.
but curious...those star tattoos, they weren't properly placed were they? Cuz with the center scar piece it looks like the star on your left, our
right, appears closer to the scar piece then the other side...

That's right. Unfortunately the existing star tattoos were slightly out of line, so with the scarification piece we actually chose to simply line it
up with my sternum and collarbones. Another reason that it seems so severe is that some of the pictures weren't taken head on, so it's bound to look a
little wonky.
And just as a random question... You look like Warren from Vogue in Darwin, is that you, or am I totally wrong?

I wanted to wait till I was comfortable with the level of success that Aussie's were having with it. I've seen some great work done OS, but not much
from local artists. Its still a new art form in my eyes. Seeing Anders work has me convinced that its time.
That and I'm a pussy when it comes to my own blood.

There is a LOT of excellent work going on overseas, and I was in the same boat as you. I've been interested in getting something done
for quite a while, but wasn't comfortable with any of the artists I met. Luckily I made a new friend, who pointed me in Anders' direction, and the
rest is history. Can I just say, that Anders is a FANTASTIC artist, and throughout the entire day he was constantly making sure that I was alright,
and comfortable. If you're ever down this way, make sure to stop by and have a chat with him. Not only is he an excellent bodmod artist, he's also a
very cool guy.

Excellent, the quality of work Anders is producing at the moment is amazing. He's the hardest working guy I know and it's most definitely paying off.
Hope you enjoy your new scar piece++

Thanks a bunch, Pox. 
You're a tattoo artist, yes? I may need to come in and see you about a rather large piece I'm considering. I had someone in Melbourne who I was going
to have do it, but as I'm in Brisneyland now, I'm going to have to find someone new!

I might be moving to Melbourne soon, hahaha.
But for now I'm at Palace of Pain Tattoo (don't let the name scare you). Contact details are in my profile details on here, and a small folio is on my
myspace.

Bah! Everyone's moving about! Makes it difficult to get anything done.  That's
cool though, I shall check out your portfolio-ishness on MySpace. If you do go, how long are you looking at before you leave..?

wacky tattooist, I always find it odd when one puts a print on someone and doesn't check often for symmetry and proper alignment before actually
tattooing...Guess it gives it a bit of "uniqueness" to it though.
yep I'm that dork of a person named Warren from Vogue in Darwin.

I actually had the stars done by Mim from DCT, just up the road from you guys. =P I'm pretty sure she was having an off day. I'm going to say that I
hope so, anyway...
You pierced my eyebrow! And now it's rejecting, and that makes me sad. But hopefully it'll leave some scar tissue to anchor the next one behind, and
as I should be back up in Darwin in April, you might get a visit from me!

definitely sad its rejecting, wish i could see it in person and perhaps troubleshoot to find the potential problem. The body she can be a strange
mistress at times lol
Since I pierced you and if you do end up in Darwin in April, you best come visit...I always enjoy visits from people who are/have been my clients
*nods*
yeah might have been an "off day" for Mim, normally she does consistent work...at least from what I've seen.

Oh, of course I shall come visit, probably get you to re-pierce the wench of a thing, too! Lol. Mim is a fantastic tattooist, She's done all three of
my tattoos, and a lot of work for friends of mine who I suggested her to, and she's done the rest of it beautifully, and everyone has their off days,
so I can forgive her of hers.

My god. It itches like mad! If there was skin there, I'd be scratching it! It's driving me nuts, and I've been hyperactive all day, looking for things
to do to distract myself!
The last few days it's looked pretty much the same as the first day of healing, so I haven't bothered to take any pictures, but I'm about to go jump
in the shower, so I'll be sure to take a picture of it when it's nice and clean lookin'. I'll post it either later tonight, or tomorrow at some
point.
Hope everyone's having a wonderful weekend!
