I cant get it to work for the life of me. Can someone jsfiddle or put a working result here showing me how to properly mask the image?

Answer 1

You can mask this in Safari and Chrome using the -webkit-mask CSS3 property like so (see fiddle in Safari/Chrome):

<img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/oJUzS.jpg" 
     style="-webkit-mask:url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/4KEpA.png')" />

However, to do a cross-browser implementation your mask will need alpha transparency in the black section of your .png image and then overlay the mask using CSS position.
