Thank You Punctured Atrefact!

[shtoink]

I'm sure that by now, you guys have noticed these really cool looking images that showed up in the banner today. They are the works of one of our newest members, Punctured Artefact, and are exquisite examples of tattooed leather. That's a topic that has been brought up here many times and there was never really a satisfactory answer or even many examples of it. I'm thinking that might not be an issue anymore.

Here's the kicker, our mystery member is very active on their own sight, in their own DeviantArt page, has uploaded images here, but left us with only a tease of what's going on. On one hand I want to scold them for such a dirty and underhanded maneuver as tossing us images with no posts or explanations, but on the other hand, they are so well executed that It makes me almost forget about the teasing that just happened.

If I were to guess, I'd say that it isn't tattooing in the traditional sense with a tattoo gun and a little cup of ink. More likely, it's with some of these since they have all the right qualities for long term enjoyment of your artwork.

At any rate, I am anxious to find out if there will be more to come and that maybe we'll even get some questions answered.

I agree the folks have a great talent. I would like to see something, not quite so "Ghoulish".

Sweet work if I do say so, however after reading through His web site they do use a traditional tattoo gun, this is a very interesting way to tool leather will have to look more into it
