Admittedly, I’m woefully out of touch with cyberpunk anything, so pardon me if I’m missing a reference here and just projecting my own experiences, but is this not a dead ringer for Samppa? I mean, it is Samppa, isn’t it? The photo comes to us from Goldust and was taken at the Moscow Tattoo and Bodyart Festival this year, so hopefully we’ll get some much-needed clarification here. Whether it’s him or some other grilled-up cyborg, though, it’s damn fine work.
And, after the jump, and not-so-ambiguous tribute to another artist who is no stranger to seeing his likeness engraved in others.
This cutting of Emilio is by Martin Page, who was also responsible for the implants in this 3D portrait of Emilio from a little while back. (No relation, of course, to this glorious monument.)

Love that portrait, I can really see that working and healing nicely.

I’m pretty sure it’s Samppa.
The jewelery (necklace, cyborg attachments etc) are the same as various pictures of him.
Though in the tattoo he looks a little jaundiced 😛

Yes it is Samppa by one of Russian artists. I’m a authop of this picture. This pic wasn’t photoshopped or edited. This tattoo is truly good-quality.
