Facial tattoos with fresh facial cutting

I don’t have an IAM link for Philip (someone post one if there is one please; photo care of ShonCuts). I really like the subtlety and “gentleness” (is that the right word? it’s the vibe I get) of these facial tattoos and cuts on him.

    That’s real nice, I agree that subtlety really works with the cutting to create an overall effect that looks just right!

    I think they really suit him. The tattoos especially are so delicate you’d almost have to look twice to even notice they’re there.

    Phillip is an amazing tattoo artist form San Fransisco, he used to work at Braindrops but i think he has moved on…this was done by Alissia (of Twisted Sole in Devner) with onyx blades at One Festival In San Diego.

    I am a big fan of the tattoo under his eye. It really adds to his face instead of hiding features. That scar looks like it will turn out nicely as well.

    I agree with smurf. The moon shaped design is really complementary to his face.
