Glow Powder Cuttings and Tattoos

Ive realized we dont have a dedicated topic for glowing cuttings and tattoos.

Yeah, theres one for UV tattoos, but not really one for glow powder things in the skin, right?

So here it is :slight_smile:

Ive got a cutting thats now 30 days old - here is a vid from today.

In case you have missed what it’s about:

We are taking waterproof (silica-coated) strontium aluminate glow powder and it is sprinkled into a fresh cutting.

There have been several tries with injecting and tattooing it, but the cutting method has worked best so far. But it’s still quite new, and there might be some other cool techniques to work it under the skin.

There was also the idea of sandblasting it with a stencil into the skin, but that still needs to be tested.

A fuckton of people got glow scarifications at grindfest this past weekend (I did a lot of the procedures, it was fun). There will be more pictures incoming soon as they start taking their bandages off

I posted on the discord so i thort id also share it here. Ive found some multi sized leather bore stamps in different shapes. Ive ordered 2 stars to check the quality (i exspect them to be manky and blunt. But i think i can sharpen and clean them.)

Just thinking about those makes my skin hurt.

:sob:

I’m not sure those punches would make the experience any easier than using a scalpel and stencil. I’m incredibly tempted to try it out with a small strip and some glow powder.

I’m worried about what’s behind the skin. I imagine it would take a lot of force to stamp wet flesh, but what’s under the skin is not usually a hard workbench.

I was gona 3d print a depth jig. So it can be set to a cetain depth then wack it. Till the jig meets the skin. I had considerd freehand. But all friends are in experienced. Ill test it on some pig first.
