I honestly can't tell you how interesting the Tattoo Fest was, learned lots by asking questions, folks love to talk about what they do, you just gotta ask!
About half way through the Tattoo, Mark asked me if I smelled something....I did it was a weird smell, so we looked around, no fire or anything...turns out we were smelling burning flesh, and not from a BBQ......
There was Scarification going' down....what is scarification? there are a couple of different ways you can get...scarified (?)
Modern day Scarification is a form of Body Art by which a "controlled" scar is formed on the skin. This can be done in one of two ways.
- The first method involves cutting a particular area of the skin repeatedly with a scalpel.
- The second is by using a method called "Strike Branding", which is much like cattle branding. A shape is crafted from a piece of metal, it is then heated until it is red-hot, and is then pressed against the skin.
The second method..is the one that was happening. Now as a person with 6 Tattoos, I can't really say anything about what people do to their bodies, some people don't understand Tattoos...I don't understand Scarification. Not to say I'm passing any kind of judgement on it, each to their own, but Wow....
So Mark has a website if you're interested in checking his stuff out....

its in the early stages of web design, but He'll be adding stuff soon.
