Scarred and Tattooed Moko

Posted on May 15, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

Samoan Pineapple already had a moko-style scarification (you can see the ridges and scarlines in the photos if you look carefully), and he recently had his entire face outlined by Justin Vickers at Golden Apple Studios in Austin, Texas.

Here’s how it looks now in it’s outlined state — I can’t wait to see it finished, it’s really gorgeous. I wish I could have made it to APP this year and seen it (and everyone) in person.
