Skin Carving - the new tattoo?
Gwen emailed me something she got in the email. When i saw it I almost puked. Really, the things some people do in the name of beauty. Please, please, don’t ever do such a thing!
The end product:
But… wait till you see the work-in-progress! Right below…
Updates: The process is called scarification and the pictures actually came from these sites for those interested to find out more: http://www.scarwars.org and http://www.bmezine.com. Thanks Brian!

Ah dude, no!
Imagine how bad and saggy that’s going to look when she’s 50… eek!
I think the only form of body mod I would have done is implanting a magnet under a finger (a very geeky thing lol). But it’d be pretty cool, you’d be able to sense metalic objects and magnetic fields. Just need to stay away from electric fences

That is fucking disgusting. Im into tattoos and body modification, but as far as actually cutting chunks of skin out, its wrong.
Please don’t ever do this, anyone, even if you think it’s cool - the healing would take months, and your back would be painful for weeks. You’d also almost certainly get infected and it would never heal properly.
October 20th, 2006 at 7:27 am
I dont think the skin would ever heal properly would it? Think of the infections possible…
October 21st, 2006 at 12:27 pm
Very fishy! I would like a salmon inserted in each arm and a trount in my feet with a prawn in every toe!
October 26th, 2006 at 10:11 pm
sick!!!
October 27th, 2006 at 11:29 am
Why oh why….what happens when she’s in her 80’s and her skin is all saggy??? weeping bamboo maybe??
October 28th, 2006 at 6:32 am
Jesus Christ.
October 28th, 2006 at 4:13 pm
the funniest part, shes gets asian bamboo.. when she is clearly NOT asian. and does she think asians would do this? LOL … stupid white hooker, she looks like a goth prostitute. and if she thinks thats attractive, guess again whore… i hope she reads this.
i know tattoo artist who refuse to put kanji on a white person cuz its the “trend”. only get asian stuff on ur body, if you ARE asian. otherwise go buy some bamboo and grow it. hooker.
October 28th, 2006 at 4:15 pm
Hahaha @kenshiro, no need to get judgemental here
October 29th, 2006 at 12:14 pm
How does she not get an infection ???
October 29th, 2006 at 9:04 pm
It’s fake
October 31st, 2006 at 5:01 am
kenshiro: Why would she care if asians like it or not. Maybe she just likes bamboo. Are you trying to say that people who’ve never lived in Great Britain shouldn’t get celtic designs tattood as well? I’ve certainly seena lot of asian people with celtic designs tattood on them. I’ve also seen a lot of european and asian people who have tattoos based on polynesian designs. Is this bad too?
Simon: Antibiotic creams most likely.
October 31st, 2006 at 6:09 am
Gorgio….. why on earth would ppl from great britain have celtic designs? for a starters its only Ireland and scotland that are celtic…. Wales and England wouldnt be celtic so using great britain for just scotland is just to broad a term. (sorry us irish tend to get a bit fussy =P)
as for the craving itself, its wrong she will no doubt get an infection and probably die of blood posioning….
October 31st, 2006 at 6:31 pm
I believe the what’s really obvious here is that this is:
1. a form of expression
2. a way of saying that they are in control and tough
and, of course:
3. a form of mutilation
The finished product is really beautiful but the process of how it’s done is rather unthinkable for a lot of people. What if one day she gets tired of the image on her back? Well, I must give her the credit for making it this far with that bamboo. I, personally, would love to get something (preferably a triquetra) done on my back but it’d probably be something that’s no bigger than my fist. I still wanna see the majority of my beautiful skin, thank you very much. ^_^
A tattoo can be removed nowadays with laser. For skin carvings, based on my impression with these pictures, I’d say it’ll take more than a laser, since this one seems to be way deep under the skin. I’m not sure though if skin grafting will erase this.
And about infection.. geez, that’s a big carving she’s got there.. good luck to her!
November 1st, 2006 at 5:09 am
F**k that. The pain that she will go threw first will be unbelievable and then after the infection that will come. I dont think she knows what she did to herself yet. And I hope she dont think thats attractive because damn, if that was me she was tryin to get with. It would probably be over right there. Good luck with the rest of her life.
November 3rd, 2006 at 10:48 am
The finished design is beautiful but she’s going to feel that SO BAD later :-p and yea ,when shes older thats going to look like a boat or something when her skins all saggy
November 4th, 2006 at 4:05 am
This is the most insane, desperate form of body modification i’ve ever seen. What could you possibly have been thinking when you decided you wanted this? Good luck with that infection…
November 4th, 2006 at 12:22 pm
Wow
November 4th, 2006 at 3:01 pm
Stupid bitch
November 7th, 2006 at 5:48 pm
Lets deep fry that skin up and put some salt on it!!! yum yum!!!! Better than pork rinds!!!
November 8th, 2006 at 3:22 pm
After that torturous procedure, I do find it beautiful. But the smooth, unblemished, naked back of a woman is far more beautiful. Never mind if she did managed the pain (it looks it) and did not get infected at all. But those slivers of skin sliced off…it’s such a waste!
She should have volunteered as a skin donor for burn patients.
November 9th, 2006 at 12:16 am
You are all talking about an infection to come and how painfull it will be. You seem to be neglecting the fact that the first picture (where it all looks nice). is actually the final finished product, that is the way it will look, if she did get an infection it has already been dealt with, thoughh by the cleaness of the pattern I would say thta she managed to avoid any great infection.
As to how it will look when she is grey and old, well lets be fair, how many old people do you know that go around topless or exhibiting large quantities of their back.
Chances are that beyond her 50s/60s that carving will be under wraps, and probably no one will see it.
Anyhoo, she is a dpouble hard lady, and I don’t reckon many people would have the danglies for that sort of thing.
Oh and my 2cents worth on the tattoo thing, Scotland and Norther Ireland ARE part of Great Britain, and the Scots and Northern Irish ARE British (they are of course also Scottish and Irish) but none the less they remain British damnit.
And as to tattos being country specific and that people should only stick to tattos based on their country of origin…. muppet. Do you even really know where you are form (as in not where your born but where your DNA says you are from) and where tattos originated from.
November 9th, 2006 at 9:56 pm
This is just gross!! I could not imagine how much pain she is in. I give you props though you are crazy though!
November 11th, 2006 at 2:09 am
Oh my good god..
The things people do for beauty..
It’s getting sicker everyday.
Yeah..I know it was her choice to do that..
But why?
That will hurt like hell when it’s done..
While it heals it will heal like hell..
When it’s healed then it will be really easy to bleed.
It will take ages to heal..
& then..yeah..when she’s older it’s gonna look strange..
No point in it really.
November 11th, 2006 at 8:01 am
TBH
I Fapped
November 15th, 2006 at 3:14 am
this has got to be one of the most extreme forms of self expression ever. I can’t believe that someone would go to such lengths just to stand out. My biggest question to this chick is how will this scar? Its not going with the grain of the skin so I would expect that it will puff out and look hideous. The risk of infection has got to be considerable, and seeing it so close to her spine is absolutely stupid. If she reads this, I hope she posts an updated photo to how she looks after 6 months and 1 year.
Ah Hell, maybe this will be a new fashion for burn victims and recovery process, they can now be trendy with their skin grafts………………just wrong.
November 17th, 2006 at 4:47 am
no thanks! ill stick wit tattoos
November 22nd, 2006 at 11:47 pm
What I find more offensive than this woman’s carving is the ridiculous and misogynist comment #9 by “kenshiro” calling this woman a “stupid hooker.” Where does one get off making that assumption? Think, people, think before you speak. It’s a good practice.
November 25th, 2006 at 11:14 am
Wonder how long she’ll go without a shower(ouch)…
November 28th, 2006 at 6:08 am
WTF!kenshiro, why does one have to be asian to get kanji tattoed onto ones body? Thats one of the stupidist things i have ever read! grow the fuck up!
Back on track, this is fucked up.
December 6th, 2006 at 2:00 pm
I’m not a massive fan of this. I think the chick has some balls and the result looks awesome but it just seems so not worth it.
KENSHIRO - I have 2 out of 4 tattoo that are in Kanji. One says “inner strenth” and the other is a simple father symbol. Rather then having father written in English I opted for Kanji because I didn’t want to be “branded”. My tattoo’s mean something to me. And I only believe in getting a tattoo if it means something as it’s there for a while….
I suggest you pull your head in and not be so judgemental. I lost my father at 14 years of age and I wanted something to remember him by. I am a white Australian chick…. Guess I too must be a white pro…
GROW UP TOOL!
December 8th, 2006 at 9:34 am
The finished product looks nice in that picture, but the scar is still fresh and red…give it a couple of years and it will just be a bunch of hard, pale lines on her back and anyone who wants to see the beauty of the image will have to stare at it harder than someone who is trying to make the 3D image pop out of one of those paintings…The sad fact, for her, is that scars heal over time, and surgical scars heal especially well because of the care with which they are made. I doubt seriously that she will have to worry about what it looks like at 50, because it will probably be so faded that no one will even notice it. Too bad…all that pain and danger for something that will disappear in a few years…
As for the issue of getting tattoos that are true to your own race or heritage, that’s a bunch of Bull. I am a white male with two tattoos that are written in Korean, and one oriental dragon that covers my whole left arm. I got those tattoos while I was living in Korea and Japan. Just because I’m not Korean or Japanese doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate the cultures. My tattoos have personal meaning for me. That is the most important part of any type of body modification…that it has real, personal meanning for you…don’t ever get something because it’s “cool” or “popular”, especially a brand or tattoo. While they can be removed or covered, it is expensive, painful and time consuming to have that done., so put some thought into what you choose.
December 23rd, 2006 at 3:31 am
This is insane! The end result looks nothing like what i would expect, but it doesn’t look bad, it’s a little extreme though. Definately not for me, but ultimately it’s her choice, and she’s the one who has to live with it. I agree, before doing something like this, see if you can donate the skin to skin graphts. well if she loves it, more power to her.
January 14th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
1) I love when the photos i take make their way around the internet.
2) Its not called “skin carving” its called Scarification. Its a form of body modification that has been around just as long, maybe longer than tattooing.
3) Its interesting to see the images up here with the copyright cropped out.
4) That is not a healed picture, so that is not the end result.
5) Its not fake, to those of the none believers.
6) The healed product looks amazing.
So, if you want to learn more about this kind of stuff, why don’t you check out http://www.getcut.org
January 17th, 2007 at 3:41 am
I can’t help but mention that the crazy ass woman whom had her back cut up never updated the damn web page and showed the finished results! It probally looks like she was a victom of a major motorcycle accident! Tattoo!!!!!! Not fucking mutalation!
January 17th, 2007 at 3:47 am
Looked around on the net and it seems that this chick is the only one that the exacto artist could find stupid enough to work on…sorry dude try your cat!
January 18th, 2007 at 12:12 pm
@Brian, thanks for the info… let me know if you want me to specifically take down the pics or post a link to your site from the main post so that everyone can be better educated…
January 20th, 2007 at 2:59 am
Garry:
Leave them up if you wish, and thank you for posting the sites so people get get better educated.
John Grifis:
There were two artists that worked on the young lady.
Both are regarded as the some of best at what they do.
Now, considering you didn’t even realize that it was two people working on the piece it shows that your “looking around the net” was a futile effort.
If you had looked further you would have seen that one of the artist in question has had his work published in notable tattoo magazines.
A little proper education can go a long way, don’t you think?
Also, its spelled mutilation. If you’re going to criticize, you might as well use spell check to not look like a total ignoramus.
January 20th, 2007 at 7:03 pm
i think it looks really good im thinking of getting one =D
February 20th, 2007 at 7:49 am
You’re all wussies.
February 27th, 2007 at 5:39 pm
I’ve seen these pics before and actually came looking for them to show a friend. I don’t wouldn’t like to have scars myself, and I don’t think I’d like my son or daughter to have them done either, but I do hope they grow up to be more respectful, tolerant and generous of spirit than those who posted such vile comments here. In this world, there are so many choices people will make that we could disagree with; surely we won’t persuade them that we are correct if we speak with such hate and filth?
I find people with body mods really confrontational, particularly those who go beyond piercing and into insertions and surgery. Still, my sensibilities are not their problem. It is ridiculous to be offended by someone else’s body mods; they weren’t done with you in mind.
April 26th, 2007 at 5:49 am
MMMMM M MMMM BACON!
April 26th, 2007 at 7:23 am
So here’s my question…It looks to me that they’re removing semi-large chunks of skin. Can she feel it as they’re doing it, or do they actually give her some sort of numbing serum so that she doesn’t feel her skin being peeled of her body? It looks like it hurts like hell if they didn’t numb her. Ouch. But it does look kinda cool.
April 26th, 2007 at 7:30 am
Okay, so I just Wikapedia’d it. I found out that it’s been around for a while. Back in Africa in the villages, they used scarification as a form of ceremony. Usually they don’t create intiquate pictures as done today, but small knicks on the chest and arms in a pattern instead. I guess it’s sort of an initiation from boy into manhood. So hey, if it’s a cultural thing that’s been around for centuries, then we shouldn’t judge what people want to do to themselves. I myself couldn’t do it. It was hard enough getting my 1 tattoo. I know at some point, having your nose pierced was considered haneous, although it existed in the Muslim religion…To each his own I say.
June 2nd, 2007 at 10:17 am
Ehhhhhh, reminds me of Van Gogh cutting off his own ear and sending it to a girl he loved, hmmmm just not quite as um for lack of a better word “Romantic” if you even want to call it that, but true enough to each there own, Ive done enough tattoos over the years to know I dont like alot of what other people choose to have done to or put into there skin, and Im into pain and all but not quite like that.
June 14th, 2007 at 3:12 am
This BLOG in itself is posted with BIAS. The picture at the top is NOT the finished product. However gross or painful the process the end product just looks like a RED version of a black fill in… For that matter I probably would have just went full color red for the same effect. Anyways check out BMEZINE.com or Google SKIN CARVING to see the end product.
As I said this was posted with bias and we are led to believe she is walking around like som e infected leper. Indeed she is not.
Would I ever do this? NO
But I have seen some done to lesser proportion as well as brandings and they looked gorgeous. I myself have to remain clean cut and have 6 non-visible in uniform tattoos (I am a US Marine). To each their own.
June 16th, 2007 at 6:42 am
I saw this and it sent a shiver down my entire body. I am a nurse and I can not for the life of me understand why someone would want to go through such immense pain! Have any of you ever experinced what it feel like to have a piece of skin carved, scrapped, sliced, etc. off of you?!!!! I once cut myself by my ankle bone while shaving, it was a wound not more than an inch long. It was probably the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. My skin was floating in the bathtub, I had jumped out because the water hurt like a bitch, and the air to it hurt almost as bad. I can’t imagine having my ENTIRE back cut up like that- and just to have a pink design form on it. Get a fucking tattoo if you want it that bad!!
I don’t think she is mentally sane! I’ve dealt with burn victims who have to go through scrubbing which removes the dead burt skin off and reveales the underflesh on their body, and they scream out in pain. I cannot understand what would go through your brain to come to the decision that you are going to PAY someone to cut your skin off! Pattern or not- in the name of art or not! OH MY GOD!! You’re literally INSANE!!!
You can see in the pictures that she’s holding a glass of orange juice- that’s because she is losing so much blood, and her body has open wounds. They gave her orange juice so she wouldn’t pass out! The same reason they give you orange juice when you give blood ON PURPOSE! Your body isn’t designed to undergo such a thing. I know for a fact from working in the medical field that her body went into shock, that’s the only way they could have finished.
I have tattoos, I have piercings, I am not opposed to that in the least bit. But when you go and mutilate your body, a when you can get the same look from a tattoo- you are a fucking idiot!
June 27th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
Wow, you guys are probably those pusses i hear screaming and moaning in tattoo parlors. Don’t pass judgment onto people you don’t know. How do you know that this girl doesn’t do these body mods instead of seriously cutting herself or something like that. The finished product looks amazing and i would definitely consider doing this if it started getting popular and i had something extremely meaningful to put on my body that would be worth going through all that pain and discomfort for. I agree with some of the other postings, it is a lot of trouble to go through to get more or less the same effect of a tattoo. Oh and those mongoloids who think this is disgusting, why the hell did you do a search for skin carving and then open a page with pictures?
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:22 pm
that has to be fake?? what kind of moron would get something like that done!!
July 3rd, 2007 at 5:22 pm
Tattoos are cooler cos you can have colours and I don’t dig the concept of debossed skin!
I think it’s gross. Before and after. Next tattoo please.
July 8th, 2007 at 5:02 am
this is just really insane i canht believe that someone would actually do this ew gross.
July 20th, 2007 at 9:46 am
yuck
July 23rd, 2007 at 11:26 am
If she’s not using that skin, can I make a mask out of it?
July 23rd, 2007 at 12:12 pm
Here’s to Brian. Since no one seems to care to actually look at the websites though, here’s some more information.
The risk of infection is headed off by using anti-bacterial soaps much as you would in a tattoo. In fact the risk of infection in large tattoos and scarification are both quite large because even though you aren’t getting skin removed you’re still getting quite large open wounds (though you can also look at in the sense that you are getting very very many small wounds in an area). Just because you have coloring in your tattoo doesn’t mean that something is covering up the holes in your skin the needle punched.
Coloring of the cutting process is done through a few different means. Tattoo ink can be rubbed into in the wound which will give it a slight color. I’ve also seen the use of various colors of sterile ash being rubbed into the wound which from what I’ve seen produces a brighter color and larger scarring.
Also the use of skin numbing agents would probably not be wanted by the person getting the work done. Usually scarification is seen in itself as a wonderful, life changing experience, similar in style to the aboriginal rituals of pain to reach a transcendent state.
I personally have had several cuttings done though in a non-professional setting, including a massive set of wings carved into my back and have never developed anything other than a local infection that cleared up in a couple of days. I can only imagine that the addition of qualified artists and people dedicated to the continued and lasting beauty of their art would simply increase the likelihood that no infections will develop.
Also, the mask idea is awesome.
July 23rd, 2007 at 11:19 pm
i want one of those
July 24th, 2007 at 12:41 am
i want the skin removed from my right hand so that everyone can see my metacarpel skeleton when i walk around.. also i’ve been trying to find a surgeon/skincarver that will swap my friends’ and my faces.. we think that would be so cool
July 25th, 2007 at 1:21 am
A little psyche 101-
People who have a negative self image choose body modification as a way to cope with the world looking at them. aka. “Look at my tattoo/scar/piercings, not me”
July 25th, 2007 at 11:37 am
Hey Michael, let’s not be too quick to judge. That may be right for some people, but many also do it for fun/beauty/whatever. Who are we to judge?
July 26th, 2007 at 1:00 am
It looks beautiful. I’d love to be hitting it from the back and rub my hands against the scars. GRRRRRRRRRRR GO ON GIRL. DO YOUR THING.
To all the little teenagers here who are commenting, drink a big glass of shut the fuck up, you don’t want people prejudging you so why are you all acting like sheep and prejudging her?

August 14th, 2007 at 2:34 pm
I actually think that this is a beautiful expression of art for people under the right circumstances. I have terrible scarring on my right arm, and would love to have a procedure like this to cover it. In scar tissue, tattooing ink will not hold for any period of time. Lets ask… Why did she do this? And, Does it really fkn matter? She did’nt do it to you.
September 1st, 2007 at 12:42 pm

Amazing work. I have some small carvings done on my legs, but nothing that large. Good luck cleaning it…
September 21st, 2007 at 9:33 pm
I have seen all of the pics-the process during the procedure and the finished product where it is all healed. Yes, it would definetly hurt while being done, just as a tattoo would, but I think that it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Kudos to her and the guys who did it….
October 15th, 2007 at 9:20 am
I can’t believe the extent of the judgment I’ve read so far. I’m sure each of you has SOMETHING that others would view as odd. Leave the girl be and judge her on her treament of mankind instead of how she wants to look. “What if god was one of us” - we’d all be damned to hell with no chance of forigveness.
Judge not lest ye be judged…

I’m so frustrated at this point lol. I first saw these pictures in an e-mail a co-worker of mine received. I’ve since been trying to find out where these photos originated because I swear I know the girl standing with her arms crossed in the third photo. If any one has any infomation I’d be really appreciative. Thanks

November 13th, 2007 at 6:50 am
people take pain in diffderent ways. For one person that would be pain, for another that would be pleasure. we cant judge her because no one is perfect and every one has their own standards for what is acceptable. as for the carving, it looks very nice i like it personally.
November 14th, 2007 at 3:42 am
damn cool man
that must be pain like hell
hahaha…
November 17th, 2007 at 5:20 am
First of all, it looks like the carving goes pretty deep and will probably remain red, even when healed. Secondly, tattoos can be removed but scars can’t be removed. Being in the medical profession, I can tell you this is very risky behavior. Your skin is your barrier organ against infection and considering the diseases like MERSA that are out there…she is opening herself not only to infection, but possible death from infection. I have to agree that it is beautiful in a bizarre, kind of creepy way, but I’ll just stick with the tattoos.
November 21st, 2007 at 1:15 pm
i have read some of the other comments on this blog, i’m not really a blogger but i was sent these same photos and i think it’s crazy to carve your skin out like that. but in the same token people think that i’m crazy for having 10 tattoos. i say to each his own, if it makes you happy and causes no harm to others go for it.
as for the comments about the way the scars will heal, most surgical scars especially on caucasians, they do tend to heal to little more than faint pink lines, but consider this, those are not surgical scars, the skin has been completely removed with the fat. those scars will probably get very faint but the spaces between where the skin was GONE, will be vivible for life.
November 30th, 2007 at 11:12 am
Skin-carving= FAIL
November 30th, 2007 at 1:47 pm
The finished product looks wicked. I heard that in some cultures after the person dies their tattoos are carved out of the body of the deceased. This is strange, intriguing and gruesome all at the same time.
December 1st, 2007 at 2:30 am
[...] Oh my gosh - what was this woman thinking? You couldn’t pay me to do this - let alone pay someone else to do it to me. Someone sent me these very disturbing photos at work in my email. I couldn’t believe that anyone would do this to themselves for any reason. Click here to lose your lunch (may not be safe for work - or anywhere else for that matter)! [...]
December 1st, 2007 at 9:48 am
That’s awesome. I got both of my legs branded so I know where she’s coming from, we all realize what’s going to happen so worry about yourselves. Also, if anyone was to turn me away because of it I wouldn’t want to be with them anyways. Everyone wants a way to express themselves. Worry about yourselves and if you don’t have anything nice to say keep your mouth shut. Or I guess I should say keep your fingers from typing.

That is just a huge staff infrection waiting to happen. I’ll stick with tattoos, besides everyone scars differently, some scars are bumpy and ugly some are flat and cute, some people don’t even scar.

why did you do that? for recognition? i don’t wanna voice my opinion too much so i’ll keep it short. the body is a special thing, a miracle, a blessing to have when whole & healthy. i am female but to be honest i don’t think that if i was a man and saw that, that i would like it b/c i’d rather feel smooth skin, not welts. it looks like punishment to me

wow i cant believe ppl can actually suffer the pain so much in the name of beauty i have tattoos but i could just imagine the pain ppl go thro to get this done ….

i think when people judge whatelse someone has done without knowing the reason, i think its bull shit. ive heard alot about skin carving and have been thinking about gettin it done. its not that it hurts it more of the mental challenge that you recive from an expirience. its testing you. pains only in the mind the challenge is how well you can supress it.

Surely no one believed that.

Why doesn’t she get the Enormous Hairy MOLES removed on her back while she was dopped up on junk and crap to
January 10th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
very stupid.

I’d like to see a similar post about breast implants. That’s not a very pretty process, either.
January 27th, 2008 at 6:22 am
she is a sick stupid morron i can’t belive that someone can do that to it’s self
January 29th, 2008 at 7:15 am
I think the finished product looks awesom. I wouldn’t get it done to myself, but I have friends who are into scarification. I am a firm believer in “whatever floats your boat”. I can’t believe some of the comments that i’v read. People really need to get their heads out of their asses. Its her body, let her do what she wants it with.
January 30th, 2008 at 4:09 am
thats just nasty why would anyone put themselves through that. all for the sake of something new ouch no thanks!
January 31st, 2008 at 11:02 am
what the hell is wrong with that chick?
February 14th, 2008 at 10:40 am
This is not ugly. She could do the same with diagonal cuts, though.
February 20th, 2008 at 5:32 am
i think it looks amazing,tad painful tho, would love to have one but i dont think my pain thresh hold can streach that far tbh, still bloody good tho 2 thumbs up
March 1st, 2008 at 10:40 am
You lot are so repressed. So what if you don’t like it? I’m fairly certain a lot of you would dislike certain tattoos and piercings, why should this be any different? If you don’t like it, just don’t get it done. Simple as that.
You don’t have to be insane or dislike your body to want to have this kind of thing done, you just need to like the way it looks after it. She could have the same design tattooed on her but then it’s not the same texture and there would be no raise in it which is one of the desire effects.

Only a fuckin idiot would do that to themselves. The girl deserves to get some horrible infection from it.
March 20th, 2008 at 3:26 am
I think that takes alot of guts to do that, what went through her mind? Shame tog, haar kop vat nie reg nie!
March 20th, 2008 at 3:08 pm

i dont think i could handle getting it done though. just looking at it is making me nauseous.
April 5th, 2008 at 4:38 am

June 2nd, 2008 at 2:55 pm

July 7th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
i know this is old and all but fuck yall i have something like that as does my best friend i have pain carved inoto my knuckles my homie has it too i also have hate while he has love. my back has a atheist cross with his name and my juggalos familys name because theyre all that have ever been their for me. He also has the same thing but my name and my name only because ive always been the only one there for him. we also went and got dragons done and in every scale that the dragons have is another sin that we have commited so ya know what these things mean a shitload to alot of people boo fucking hoo if you dont like it but pain is the very essence of life learn that and youll float through until you reach shangri la or hell pit or what ever the fuck you beleive in but do not question what this means to many of us
October 20th, 2008 at 9:05 am
whats the point?? i dont see the point in this or tattoos!! i mean whatever you like is up to you!! but personally i believe that anything that has meaning will remain forever in your memory and you dont have to mark yourself up to keep the memory close. i mean come on hang a picture on your wall for goodness sake.
