About a year and a half ago Ubergeekgawdess had Tantan (at Infinite, Philadelphia) do the cutting that you can see healed on the left. Just now, on the right, Joy Rumore (at Venus, NYC) has added tattooing to augment the scar as it matures.

I don’t know if it’s just Shannon’s work in PS though, but the cherries look really faded for just a year and a half between the pictures.

The piece is a culmination of two very talented ladies… Tania and Joy’s work came out great…

As Photographer I’ll note that the pictures were taken the same day, so there is no real year and a half’s worth of fading…

I love these tattoo/scarification hybrids. Body art has really come a long way and is still evolving. This is simply beautiful, it adds a whole 3D feel to it and is fucking awesome. Can’t wait to see more people with this kind of work in the future.

I’m not a fan of simplistic florals and fruits, but this is really well done, and the scaring gives the tattoo a 3d look (and feel i hope), that really compliments it.
Why is it that i can never to manage anything negative to say? It just that even themes and styles that i’m not really into, can still be really good and complimenting to the person its on.

Wow, I think everyone has to say that it looks really gorgeous, like a bas-relief or something.

That 3d effect is extremely striking and very inspiring.I can’t wait to see some strong lettering that has been cut first then inked.
How long before 3d tattoos become a big thing, some intricate cutting left for a few months then tattooing on top could be used to devastating effect.
Fantastic work

this is EXACTLY what i want to do. have a tattoo over scars so that you can actually FEEL the tattoo as well as just see it.
