Healed Rib Tibettan Skull Cutting

I have mostly posted fresh fine-line cutting work. Here’s a great example of a well healed piece, done by John Lopez at Slave to the Needle in Seattle, WA. There are older pictures in the BME galleries and on his IAM page.

PS. My schedule opens up big-time later this week, so we should be back to our regular post orgy soon. I know it’s been a bit sporadic lately.
