This photo has been mirrored — when Brenno (say hi to him at APP) from Body Factory in Trieste, Italy did this skin removal, it was reversed so the wearer could read it in the mirror. I assume no one needs a translation.

its a cool idea to write it backwards, that way its not legible to the wrong peopleand the wearer can read it himself! not bad!
Maybe it’s just too damn early for me, but sadly, I need a translation. The cutting looks beautiful, I just can’t figure out what it says.
Arte Perversa isn’t that hard to take a guess at….
it is a really nice cutting, it’d be interesting to see how well it scars
Perverse art
Yeah, I figured Perverse Art, once I went back and reread the title – I was concentrating too much on the cutting and totally blanked on the fact that it was right there in my face above it.
Be nice to see this one healed, its been beautifully cut.
Absolutely beautiful, can’t wait to see it healed either.
Is that a microdermal I see?
Quality work indeed.
DURR I DO KNEED A TRANSLATE
A nice example of words transformed into a picture. I’d imagine reversed it appears as just a scroll-work design.
I’d love to see this when it heals!
This is awesome! I would also love to see it healed out with some highlighting tattoos.
i’m a geek. i had to re-flip the image so that i could see what everyone else saw as well as what he sees. i’m happy to report it is just as aesthetically pleasing in reverse:)
I think it could look Arabic in reverse.
perverse art– i like it 🙂
I really love this!!
especially how the microdermal fits so perfectly!
