See what motivates people to radically reshape their bodies—from neck stretches in Thailand to breast ironing in Cameroon to silicone implants that enhance American male physiques.
Many examples of extreme body modifications include scratches, burns, implants and split tongues.
Scars are prefabricated by peeling off layers of skin and healing into a specific design. Some scars are almost as complex as tattoos.
Although most people who decide to have scarification surgery don’t get tattooed in the process.
However, ink can be applied before the healing process begins, allowing it to over-heal. This is usually not as dramatic as the tattoos you often see.
You can also choose to wait for the scar to flatten, which usually takes a year or two. Afterwards, you can add vibrant colors to the scarred design.
