Description:
We apologize. Elwood was not allowed across the border.
Cutting (or Scarification) is one of those practices that both excites and terrifies people, sometimes at the same time. Historically, this ritual is one of the oldest forms of body modification. In more recent times cutting has held a negative image. Most mentions of cutting have been books published on the psychology of cutting and how to stop this self-mutilation. But cutting as art?!? If done properly, cutting can create beautiful, permanent body decorations which leave you with positive memories of this incredible experience.
Elwood will be presenting a workshop on the history, psychology (cutting for the right and the wrong reasons and how to know the difference), safety, aesthetic and skills needed in doing cuttings. A live demonstration will be done to show the techniques and precautions required.
