Scarification, or scarification, is ranked among the most extreme types of body modifications. Like tattoos and piercings, scarification has a centuries-old history, during which not only the technique of performance changed, but also the importance of applying patterns to the body with the help of scarification. In ancient tribes, scarring had a ritual character, and also served as a mark of distinction, thus, for example, noted belonging to the soldiers. Even today, you can see a photo of scarring on the face, distributed among representatives of various tribes, who have preserved their ancient culture.
In more developed countries, scarification was used to identify criminals. For this purpose, a branding technique was used. The stigma was placed on more open areas of the body, so that later it would be easier to identify criminals. Each crime was designated by a certain symbol. A long period in history, scarring and tattoos were used only in certain circles, and did not belong to the art of decorating the body. But with the advent of a new era, views on many things changed, including on the modification of the body. To date, tattoos and scarring are a separate subculture that has many adherents and opponents. At the same time scarification is gaining popularity, both among men and women. On the one hand, such a popularity of body modifications promotes self-expression and inner freedom, but on the other hand it can lead to sad consequences, for the prevention of which it is necessary to better understand this issue.
Where to make scam - at home or in the salon?
Prices for scarring from professional masters may exceed prices for tattoos. Depending on the complexity and size of the picture, the price ranges from 80 cu. for 5 square centimeters, and can reach from 500 to 1000 cu, depending on the sketch for scarring. And if the price is not suitable, then many prefer to do scam at home. This is where the main danger lies, as the procedure requires sanitary conditions, knowledge in the field of surgery and medicine, and, of course, special sterile instruments. With scrambling at home it is almost impossible to provide the required conditions, as well as there are no guarantees of the professionalism of the master. It is worth noting that the expensive salon and the availability of permits are, unfortunately, not always the key to a quality result, but, nevertheless, the risk of infection in the salon is much less. And, after viewing the photo of the scarring performed by the selected master, one can have an idea of the level of his skill and professionalism.
