A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

  • The Lion King

    We’re going to start the day off with a request.  Brian, I want a follow up picture of this scar.

    You see, the reason I’m calling Brian out is because of his comments about this scar.  See that scar just to the bottom left of the cutting.  That’s from a case of chicken pox.  Given how the owner of the lion scars up, the end result of this could be incredible.

  • For comparison..

    It’s not often a scarification artist gets to create a life-size portrait of something, especially when it’s in the same room.  Unless of course your name is Brian Decker.  Then you can expect someone to walk in with a lobster asking for a scar over top of some heavy blackwork.

    As for the lobster.  He was either released back into the wilds of Williamsburg, or was served with a generous helping of butter.

  • Cutting Delicately

    Oftentimes the scars that are noticed the most are the large ones.  Size of course is one factor, as is the level of detail allowed in a large scar.  Yet sometimes a small scar can be just as noticeable, especially when you have an artist like Brian.

    According to Brian this was an extremely delicate piece to cut out.  I’m not 100% sure of the positioning, but if he says it’s delicate it’s safe to assume it’s a small scar.

  • Finding your way

    I suppose you can never get lost if you always have a compass with you.

    Brooklyn bad boy Brian is the mastermind behind this incredible scar/brand combo.  Brian points out this this scar was particularly challenging from a technical standpoint.  Getting the dimensions correct to give the piece an accurate sense of scale is tough when you’re working with skin, especially on a scar of this size.

  • The Bunnyfish

    Up until 5 minutes ago, I thought that this piece by Brian was on someone who just loves bunnies and fish.  Well much to my surprise, the Bunnyfish is actually a creation of LA based illustrators Kozyndan.  Even at my age, it’s still possible to learn something new every day.

    You can see a bit more detail in the full sized image which is located in Brian’s BME portfolio gallery.
