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.

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!

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.

Healed photo after the break….

I’ve said in the past that there are a variety of factors that contribute to the healing of a scar; technique, genetics, aftercare, luck… That being said, it’s always good when an artist provides photos of their healed pieces.
