i’m sure that somewhere in the annals of QOD this question has been asked but here goes– i’ve been seriously considering scarification, most likely in the way of flesh removal and was wondering if any of you kind folk would know of anyone in the central florida area (tampa, orlando.. hell, st. pete, ft. myers, WHATEVER) that you would highly recommend for such things and if so.. do these particular people specialize in any certain ’style’ of art? i’ve got things in mind but i’m open to working it around a bit as what i’m thinking of is at the ‘crude’ stage, at best, in development.

thanks.

Hi.

One minor flaw with publicly stating an artists name here is the fact that in Florida, at least from what I gathered from fellow piercers, it is illegal for shops to have scalpels and dermal/biopsy punches. Because of this artists are not going to want to publicly advertise that they offer said procedures, due to liability reasons.

My suggestion to you is to research the various scarification artists on BMEzine, you can also check out ScarWars.Net, and perhaps get into contact with said artists. As you might have to find out if an artist is willing to do guest spots in that area of the country, or you might need to pay a visit to one of the said artists in their area or to a nearby area.

To answer your question about specializing in a certain “style” I’m sure many artists have their preference to what they like doing. Some prefer geometric patterns, others ancient South American patterns, the list goes on. The best option for you though is to find the artist who has done previous work that is similar to the piece that you want.

The key thing with finding a scarification artist is much like finding a qualified tattoo artist or body piercer. You want to make sure they have an established portfolio of fresh (clean though, not a bloody mess) as well as healed shots, don’t just fall for the ploy of an unethical artist who will talk you into doing something without providing proof of their skills,etc.

But since scalpels and biopsy punches are suppose to be illegal to use in Florida, there are not many artists publicly advertising their work, from that specific state.
