Five months ago, at Scarwars in Philadelphia, Todd DiPopolo had his all black forearm cut (along with some skin removal) by Brian Decker and John Joyce. The result is looking amazing I think — check out two more photos after the break.

#1- the scars will lighten up over time. it depends on the person, but scars can continue to change for up to five years.
this looks really amazing. i especially like the thin spiral lines.
The black work is really nice and black 🙂 scars are pretty on top too

AND that scarification is looking beautiful! i didn’t get a good look at it last time i was at revolver b/c i was preoccupied, hee hee

i was wondering does a scarification artist use a numbing lotion be for they start cutting?

Effing brilliant!
Yay! I love it.
I too agree with Allie. It’s a shame Todd.
May I remind everyone that Todd definitely leaked all over after getting that done.
oh tord..what a modblogged guy
Scarification over black is BRILLIANT!
I don’t particularily care for the designs. They remind me of something one might doodle on a notepad. It makes me sad to see a great canvas have doodles on it.
When you do that sort of thing how are you putting down a stencil? Or is it just freehand?
