This workshop will demonstrate how to prepare a technical skin removal scarification piece. Clean skin removal requires precise outlining and depth control. Through live demonstration we will discuss how to cut the skin so that it opens in a predictable way, how to achieve correct line depth and width, and how to remove an area with a smooth result.
Also covered will be the additional steps that make a successful scar, design, placement, and aftercare. Predicting how a scar will heal is difficult but with some extra information it can be easier to get the result you’re after. We will discuss the concept of movement and scale and how that affects healing. Design preparation will be covered to help better understand how a scar stencil needs to be different from a tattoo stencil. Aftercare is always important with body modification and scarification is no exception. We will discuss different ways to heal a cutting dry or wet and how it can affect the final scar.
