Scarification
Scarifying (also
scarification modification) involves scratching, etching, burning / branding, or superficially cutting designs, pictures, or words into the
skin as a permanent
body modification. In the process of body scarification,
scars are formed by
cutting or
branding the skin by varying methods (sometimes using further sequential aggravating wound healing methods at timed intervals, like irritation), to purposely influence wound healing to scar
more and not
scar less. Scarification is sometimes called
cicatrization (from the French equivalent).
