Tony Powers, one of the few tattoo artists also doing scarification, did this tattoo over a strike branding… Because of the very traditional design I imagine it makes an interesting impact because at first people write it off as “boring” but then all of a sudden realize they’re looking at something “more”.

the only thing i would maybe change about this is to but a bit of colour in the feathers of the arrow – great look, though. i love tattoos and scars together.

i think the aesthetic of both them together just kinda makes everything pop a bit. the brand and tattoo apart would just be boring but together I love this.

I would’ve done the feathers in color though but still. wooow, pretty cool that they mixed it up like that, scarrifacation and tatooing x)

I really enjoy most of the things posted here, but I don’t care for this at all. I like both of them separate, but together they just seem like a bit too much is going on.
But to each his own, it’s not my body. ^_^

I like that there are subtle highlights on the edges of the brad to enhance the look of depth.

So simple, but I very much like the outcome. I also agree with #12, it definitely adds a nice element of depth to the piece!

I have always loved scars+tattoos together, and this is no exception. The scar alone looks pretty cool, but the mix is just awesome.
