Scarification

the 'art'of mutilating one's body for its 'enhancement'

2. Scarification Tattoos
Scarifyinginvolves scratching, etching, or some sort of superficial cutting or incision In the
process ofscarification, scars are formed by cutting or branding the skin. There are many
reasons why people may turn to scarification. Aesthetically, scarificationsare usually more
visible on darker skinned people than tattoos. Also, unlike tattoos, scarificationsare a product of
one's own body.
There are also religious and social reasons for scarification. According to some tribal belief in
Africa, producing scars on newborn children helps preventing vision related illness. There may
also be religious expressions used in the scarification process

4. Scarification is not a precise art; there are many variables, such as skin type, depth of the
cut, and how the wound is treated while healing, that make the outcome somewhat unpredictable.
The body creates the scar, not the artist; it is important to keep in mind that a method that
works well on one person may not work so well on another. Also, the scars tend to spread a bit
as they heal, so scarificationsare usually relatively simple designs --small details can easily get
swallowed up in the healing process.

11. Trinity
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that
the Spirit of God dwellethin you?
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God
destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple
ye are.
1 Corinthians 3: 16,17
