Poison- Matias (Rata) Tafel

poison Poison  Matias (Rata) Tafel

My buddy Rata from Argentina borrowed from traditional tattoo iconography with this “Poison” girl cutting.
I see fresh cuttings from artists all over the world, but Rata is one of a small handful who always sends healed photos of his work. If you follow after the break you can see how the piece healed up.

    Nice work. I have been debating an “old school” cutting. Wouldn’t be a Poison Girl for me but it is cool to see someone else with the same idea.

    Its neat to see traditional tattoo designs in scarification. Not something I’m used to seeing.

    nice seeing a healed piece along with the fresh! Something I would like to see more of.

    Great work Rata
