Scarification is a term that is used to describe the act of scarifying. Scarifying involves scratching, etching, or some sort of superficial cutting or incision as a form of permanent body modification, akin to tattooing.
It is way prettier than tattoo... seen my fren who had done scarifications and i was so amazed by it and wonder how the heck did he manage the intense pain... however this is not popular...
basically, there are different ways of doin it. Strike-brandin, Laser-brandin, Cold-brandin, Cuttin, Skinnin, Packin and Abrasions...
The bottom pics show scarifications by the mean of cuttin... dun proceed if u have a weak stomach... =)
oh my gosh... isnt it way nicer than tattoos???
i simply love it..
plus u dun have to worry bout fadin of ink colour which happen when u tattoo...
did something which i think pple would call me dumb... i attempted to do a "T" on my wrist by mean of abrasion... it is not really that painful actually... budden it is freakin painful after that... cant freakin touch the damn bloody water... the area would be reddish plus swollen... third day le and it still hurts hell loads, red and swollen... crap... but i enjoyed the pain though... +)
gotta start revisin for my papers tml... no more procastination for me...
