Hot on the heels of this outstanding flesh-removal piece from earlier in the week, we turn the spotlight once again to Jimmy Xayyabanha at Straight A Tattoos in Asheboro, North Carolina, who, apparently, is just killing it right now. I apologize if this is a recognizable profile on whose identity I’m blanking, but either way, this is one of the finer pieces of scarification portraiture we’ve seen in a while.

That’s nuts, interested to see how the ridged lines of her hair will look all healed together.

It’s an old Sailor Jerry design, don’t know if it was actually based on anyone. That’s probably why it looks so familiar, tho.

Fuck Sailor Jerry? Let’s see your massive contribution to furthering the art of tattooing, to the point where you are even influencing things like high end scarification long after death…

the images may be primitive, but they are effective. they work for tattoos, and you can tell what you are looking at from across the street. not that you cats aren’t entitled to your opinions on the matter, but I can recall thinking it was cheesy and shitty at one time, when I first started to learn to tattoo, and at that time i should have had my ass kicked for saying so.
also, this is in fact sailor jerry flash. the effectiveness of it as a scarification peice just goes to further my point.,
