A new kind of tatoo?

Just saw this on Myspace... it's called scarification. Thought a handful of you (Bryan) might find this interesting. It's facinating and nauseating at the same time. I'll tell you guys right now though, do not watch this if you have a weak stomach. I mean I can watch surgery on the Discovery Channel and this still gave me chills. The things some people will do...

Reactions in chronological order:
1) Ouch, cutting him, that would hurt, but doesn't look to bad...
2) Ah, cool design, I see how this is going to look...
3) Oh man. I didn't see that coming...
4) I think I'm going to be sick...

I'm all about the pain and body art...but damn...that is too hardcore for me. Even regular tattoos are boring for people now...geez!

That looks like what I have been doing to my cadaver in anatomy lab...
I wonder what the actual final product looks like, though. The design looked really neat but I seriously doubt your body will heal in any sort of predictable way. Also, that thing looks like infection city! Especially since you would be purposefully not taking care of it like a normal wound. I hope no one I know (Bryan) decides to get it done.

Wow im stunned

Can you imagine what it would feel like to jump in the shower after that!? OUCH!

You can google it and check out pictures of final products... they basically puff up w/ scar tissue. Craziness.

I'm with Adam on this though, the healing process seems too unpredictable for me; seems too risky. And can you imagine if you DID have some kind of infection...you're fucked...simple as that.
