Scarification

   Pain nourishes courage. You can’t be brave if you’ve only had
   wonderful things happen to you.

January was… insane. It always is. To make amends for my absence, we’re going big... Scarification.

One of the oldest forms of body modification is finally growing in popularity. With scarification, cuts between ¼” and ¾” are used to create scar tissue and imprint images upon the skin.

There are many reasons people would turn to scarification. For starters, they are more visible on dark-skinned people than tattoos. Also, unlike tattoos, scarifications are a product of one’s own body. In addition to aesthetic reasons, endorphins are released during the process that can induce a euphoric state- sounds fun, right?
