The tatoo itsself looks nice... Would prefere it as a T-shirt print though.... but how can one do THAT?!?!?

Urgh.

... I ask myself how painful it must have been?!

YUK- havent seen that before

LOL- for a technique so visceral, the design is so bland, it's like Prof Van Hagens towing the line at Au Naturale

Hiya, I'm new on here and this is my firt post!

First of all, it's not a tattoo. The procedure is called scarification. The skin is literally cut away with a scalpel.

The desired effect is to be left with a scar, to do so, once the scarification has been performed, the wound needs to be irritated. I've known people have this done (not on such a large scale-she's got balls!). The irritation is often done with things like lemon juice, toothbrush, rough flannel etc


Personally, I'm not a fan of scarification, in my opinion, if you want a pretty design on your body, get it tattooed! (being in the industry, I'm somewhat bias)

I bet she couldnt move for days. It doesn't even look nice in the end. must be a huge skin cancer risk in later years seeing as scars are high cancer risk.
