This cutting on Michele (which I thought kind of resembled my forehead tattoo, which is probably why I liked it) is based one that one of the characters in the the Karl Persson painting “Ascending” (about the middle of the bottom row in his gallery as I write this) has, and was cut by Ighlif at Happy Family in Torino, Italy. While people have been doing beautiful work with high detail scarification, personally I prefer these very simple geometric designs, and think they also have the best chance of looking good for life.

I totally agree about how striking the simplest scars can be, and this one is awesome. I like how the line width changes a little from the top to the bottom of the circle, and maybe from the outside to the center of his chest.
