Scarification
Scarification is a permanent body modification that uses scar tissue produced by the body to form designs, pictures, or words in the skin. Scars are most often formed by cutting or branding the skin. Scarification is sometimes called cicatrization (from the French equivalent).
Reasons
- Scarifications are usually more visible on darker skinned people than tattoos.
- Endorphins are released in the process of obtaining the scarification that can put a person into a high or euphoria.
- Unlike tattoos, scarifications are a product of one's own body.
