Skills to Consider: Scarification

With almost every tribe that I have researched so far, Scarification seems to play an important part in their identity. Whether they are long, thick scars, small raised nicks in the skin, or full-on body modification, scars are an important part of identifying who who belongs to which tribe, who's who within that tribe, and in some cases, documenting your family and your history. From what I have seen and heard so far, scarification seems to be the popular technique of choice for final designs, and I have seen alot of scarification in editorial shoots on the internet and in magazines, and that makes it a less desirable choice for me. However it does look amazing when done properly, so it is still something to consider.
