okay. what does anyone think about scarification as body art.
okay im weird, but i feel perhaps if i have a scar that i like to look at rather than just the ones that are ugly, i may look at all of them a bit better. *sigh* i dont know. you can kill this thread if it is innapropriate, but i was just asking for input.
i just want to be able to look at my body and not see something ruined. imo, scarification comes under the topic of tattoos, so it doesnt affect me. but please if you dont know what it is dont look it up for the fear of u getting triggered. i just want to be able to see them as slighty less ugly.
sorry if i triggered anyone.

Hey ((((((((((selfy)))))))))))))

I did an essay on scarification (and body modification) for an essay two years ago... it's interesting.

Personally, if people want to do that to themselves (like tattoos) then I'm okay with it - just not for me. But also, you have to look at your motivation for doing it - some people might undergo a tattoo (or scarification) to feel the pain which would make it like SIng... just not using your own hand.

Have you talked this over with anyone who might give you more information, or do you have any friends who have done this?

I would have to agree that it may come down to intent. If you are doing it for artistic reasons than I think that is one issue and if you are doing it for SI than another.

I am not going to look up the word so i don't trigger.... i .. um.... if it is what i am thinking.... i have cut in designs for the reason of wanting something artistic to look at since the cuts would be there anyway. i did a bunch of different designs... but i have to tell ya, i still hid them anway. i didn't want to be questioned by others, and really a creative scar gets noticed more than just a cut (or several) because then ppl know it was intentional.
