Scarification, or scarification (fromfrom the Latin word "scarification", which means "cutting", "scratching"), is considered one of the most extreme types of body modifications. Artistic scarification is the application of decorative scars and artistic cicatrices to the body in a finished form, which represent some kind of drawing. It turns out that body scarification is called a kind of body art. This kind of decoration, such as decorative scars and cicatrices, are so exotic that not everyone can imagine how to do it - to make scarification, or simply a pattern of scars. And yet, some even call it art. At first, as a rule, there is a suspicion that all body modifications are phenomena of the same order. But, no - for a hundred people with tattoos, you can hardly find one who has done scarification on his body - a tattoo is just child's play compared to the idea of cutting up your body or face. A whole science of scarification techniques has already been created: for example, a scar remains convex if the skin is cut at a certain angle, and after a burn, a scar is formed with a depression. Also, traces of fake bites are applied to the skin of the body, these are just drawings. Scarification also includes the implantation of various foreign bodies under the skin. They can be both precious metals and pieces of plastic, which will form a pattern for beautiful scarification. Like a tattoo, scarification can provide an extremely large scope for creative imagination: photos with various drawings, which can be absolutely anything, serve as proof of this. These drawings have only one visible difference - they form a complex bas-relief on the skin of the body. This, in fact, is the main feature and, one might say, the beauty of scarification. As a rule, scarification is done on the back, on the arm and even on the face. Most often, scarification on the face is done by people who have scars of natural origin after some kind of incident. They have a desire to somehow artistically disguise them, so that they get beautiful scarring. And sometimes, on the contrary, someone specifically wants scarring in the form of natural scars, that is, which in their form and appearance are as close as possible to real ones - for example, from a knife strike. You can’t say about this: this is artistic scarring - pictures of such scars can really scare. But, as they say, everyone has different tastes. ...Read More
