All I wanted for Christmas was a big shiny diamond. Thankfully our old friend Rata had one to spare. Fresh line cutting over a healed tattoo. This is going to look great healed.

Welcome to 2010, Scarwarriors. I’ve been taking a bit of a break from updating the Scarblog, but now I’m back and ready to get the fun train rolling. My friend Matias sent this one in; a healing shot of his amazing demon cutting we featured back in November. Great progress and texture.

The New Fusion- Matias ‘Rata’ Tafel
Categories: CuttingsTags:: Cuttings, International, Matias Tafel, Tattoo, Tattooed Scar
Rata just sent over a whole bunch of new cuttings; the first to get featured is this tattoo/scarification hybrid. The outlines were standard scalpel scarification, with the shading portions done with a tattoo machine. This technique has a lot of promise- we’ll check back with Rata to see how things heal up.

Our friend Rata checked in again with this Japanese tattoo style demon cutting; nice bold lines accentuated with flesh removal and shading techniques. I can’t wait to see this one healed!

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.

I just received an email from my buddy Rata (Ratabodyart Studio in Argentina) chock full of photos for the scarblog. I grabbed a nice floral cutting for his introductory post; clean even lines that healed perfectly. You’ll be seeing more from Rata in the next few weeks for sure.
