When my old friend Ryan from Precision Body Arts was in London at the start of the month he did this heart branding on a client’s chest — this is a the first time he’s tried the “crosshatch” method of accenting a cutting, first popularized by Dave Gillstrap.

I actually like the crosshatch alot, it gives it a nice touch. I’d like to see this when it’s healed.
that doesn’t even look like a brand, it seems more like regular ol’ scalpel scarification.
It looks great!
Ooops, typo, that IS a cutting… Roo, please correct that when you get a chance.
i don’t know you roo…but from what everyone else says you are a gem. thanks for bringing s. back home for the holidaze.
if i knew a brand would like like this one i’d be all over it.
ModBlog’s BACK, baby!
And yes. Roo’s a gem.
Wow, that looks awesome.
the scarification i had done on my leg at Scarwars had a lot of crosshatch done on it.
it turned out pretty nice!
i’ll have to send in some before/healed pictures.
I feel like I’ve come home. Seeing familiar names, and wonderful content. Long time coming, patience has its rewards. That scarification is way super. I am still working on the my last one. I can take the cutting for about two hours, then i have to stop. My hat is off to you.
The cutting work looks great.
Again…I would like to see the final results once it’s totally healed!
looks so great, i love the cross hatch but have never seen heald pics of it and wonder if its just as lovely. im so glad i get to view it in its rightful home, welcome back we loved you and missed you. make yourself comfortable cuz your here to stay.
The cutting looks awesome. Roo and Shannon rock.
And we’re gonna have a wonderful holiday =)
the crosshatch is GORGEOUS!
the crosshatch makes for a really interesting gradient effect. i wonder how it’ll look healed (post pics plz!)
Gosh, that’s really great. Hopefully you post pictures of it when it’s healed.
Oh wow that looks really nice.
Lovely scar… seems so real!
I like this. I am really curious as to how the crosshatch effect will look healed.
Well that looks like mine!
Ill post a pic of it when its fully healed, i must say ryan was amazing both as a person and an artist, never have i been so inspired.
Guess ryan sent off the pic? i didn’t thanks buddy!
I like that , so much !
