1. I think this is so beautiful. The tattoos really accentuates the scar. I’m a huge fan.

2. just gorgeous

3. meg’s a trooper… and fun to work on!!

4. makes me want to get my xveganx scar tattooed around finally

   scars and tattooing go sooo well together

   i love it

5. This looks great!

   I don’t know if it’s just Shannon’s work in PS though, but the cherries look really faded for just a year and a half between the pictures.

6. yeah… definitely looks fucking sweet…. i have seen brandings outlined and they look pretty sweet, but this shits is just str8 up fucking fantastic…

7. Oh wow.

   That is f’ing gorgeous.

   Just… wow.

8. this is sooooo beautiful

9. That is absolutely gorgeous.

10. Wow, that’s beautiful!

11. Such bright colors! It’s really pretty.

12. i *love* the beautifully augmented tattoo/scar combo.

13. i absolutely love it!!!

14. The piece is a culmination of two very talented ladies… Tania and Joy’s work came out great…

    As Photographer I’ll note that the pictures were taken the same day, so there is no real year and a half’s worth of fading…

15. I love these tattoo/scarification hybrids. Body art has really come a long way and is still evolving. This is simply beautiful, it adds a whole 3D feel to it and is fucking awesome. Can’t wait to see more people with this kind of work in the future.

16. this is th´most beautiful thing i have ever seen

17. I love this, so pretty, lovely bright colours.

18. this looks really pretty..
    reminds me of some art where u do the outlines with wax and paint on it..
    then u iron off the wax.

19. I’m not a fan of simplistic florals and fruits, but this is really well done, and the scaring gives the tattoo a 3d look (and feel i hope), that really compliments it.

    Why is it that i can never to manage anything negative to say? It just that even themes and styles that i’m not really into, can still be really good and complimenting to the person its on.

20. Wow, I think everyone has to say that it looks really gorgeous, like a bas-relief or something.

21. That 3d effect is extremely striking and very inspiring.I can’t wait to see some strong lettering that has been cut first then inked.

    How long before 3d tattoos become a big thing, some intricate cutting left for a few months then tattooing on top could be used to devastating effect.

    Fantastic work

22. this is EXACTLY what i want to do. have a tattoo over scars so that you can actually FEEL the tattoo as well as just see it.

23. that loks quite pretty :)

24. Yayyyyy!

    Sweet!
    Beatiful!
    Great!

25. Shannon, you should definitely put online a dedicated tattoo+scar section.

26. Awesome!

27. Absolutely gorgeous.

    …But I don’t think it meshes well with the cherries she already had. Ah well, it’s still amazing work!

28. that’s beautiful.

29. Simply gorgeous.

30. Does anybody have an idea of the pain level of getting scar tissue tattooed? I have a few scars I’d like to add some ink to, so I’m a little curious…

31. Christina: I found that the parts that actually tattooed into a bit of scar tissue were pretty painful but it wasn’t bad enough that I’d never do it again. Don’t let the pain level stop you because it is definitely bearable.

32. that’s fucking awesome! i want one now =]

33. that’s gorgeous.

34. looks beautiful! i was looking for something like this but didnt really find much.. i can;t wait till i work on mine! (maybe 5-7 years. eep!) i wonder how it will be changing as the scar changes over time.. and also how the tattoo heals. i want to get the tattoo to go over some of hte scars on mine but it may not work.

35. that’s really really beautiful. Very beautiful.

36. Joy will be doing tattoo/scar hybrids at this year’s SCARWARS event.

37. I love the idea of 3D tattoos, like flock wallpaper or something, but prettier!

38. Woah, the bright colours and the scars together look awesome! ^_^ I really like this, it has a great effect! ;)
