it sure looks like to me!
I really liked that tattoo

Jaw dropping :-)
Extremely convincing!
it took me ages to figure out what a “6 month old branding forever” was! (I somehow didn’t see the word tattoo in there at first.)
VERY convincing!
That looks very convincing as a brand, i thought it was a brand that had been augmented by a bit of tattooing
Excellent likeness, that’s too cool.
Really nice effect, but I really don´t understand why he/she didn´t do a real branding?
I thought it was a brand until i more thoroughly read the description
i’ve thought about doing something similar… because i like how red brandings and scars start out. i’m not really interested in the healed result.
Isn’t that brilliant. Using that approach, the “branding” can’t heal itself into oblivion (for people who don’t mark easily, like me)!
whoa, i had to look at it again and read the description before i realized it wasnt a brand…hahaha awesome work!
Oh wow, that’s not branding. Another one here was fooled.
I deff. thought that was a brand
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
#10, maybe they didn’t want a ‘real’ branding.
Anyway, thats pretty effective, it looks good.
very impressive, I really like it.
#10 – I thought the same thing at first, but then I realized that a brand would look different than that when totally healed, so I think he got the tattoo so that it would maintain that look.
Fooled me!
That looks great – a lot of scarification looks better to me before its healed so this is right up my alley =D
The white along the “edge”…just perfect!
It looks fantastic, what an awesome idea. I’d be interested to see it in stronger light though, you know, with reflections, I bet it’s not half as nice. Still, love it.
this took way more than just a double take to figure out it was not an actual brand!
Wow, that’s incredible.
Lookin’ GOOD!!!
nice – Tolkin maniac xD
His|Her nex tattoo should be Bilbo or Frodo :D
