Scarification : Strange Tattoos Art

Do You know Scarification ? Scarifying involves scratching, etching, burning, or superficially cutting designs, pictures, or words into the skin as a permanent body modification. In the process of body scarification, scars are formed by cutting or branding the skin. Scarification is sometimes called cicatrization (from the French equivalent).wikipedia.

Scarification Reasons

Scarification is usually more visible on darker skinned people than tattoos. Endorphins can be released in the scarification process that can induce a euphoric state. There are also aesthetic, religious, and social reasons for scarification. Additionally, although infection may be a risk with most forms of scarification, they do not involve the usage of tattoo ink.wikipedia.

Scarification Methods

Scarification is not a precise practice; variables, such as skin type, cut depth, and how the wound is treated while healing, make the outcome unpredictable. A method that works on one person may not work on another. The scars tend to spread as they heal, so outcome design is usually simple, the details being lost during healing.wikipedia.

How can Scarification be viewed as art? Some people can understand tattoos but this is just very sick. It's freaky! But other people that do that have issues that we do not understand! Anything can be classified artistic. Scarification can be viewed as art in the same way that whatever it is that Kurt Darren does is viewed as music. It's horrible and it isn't, but some people like it. Different strokes for different folks, eh?
