Re: I love body mods but I'm going to try and contain myself!

[anonymouslyyours]

Yup! But I'm pretty sure I wasn't doing it very safely and it wasn't a good idea. I didn't have training or the right equipment. I never had any infections or problems but I knew two other kids who did. Luckily I had enough sense not to do them on other kids or get mixed up in that.

They looked very cool for a while but they healed and flaked off at uneven rates and looked kinda funky for a while.

I experimented with some scarification/branding on myself but over the past couple of years they've faded to almost no visibility. Not sure if I did them incorrectly or if I just heal differently.

IDK how feasible it is but if you are serious about scarification but don't want someone else to do it you might find an artist/nurse who would be willing to teach/supervise you?

I know some tattoo artists who are familiar with it and I've been talking with them. I'm friends with a few body mod people also and been talking with them about various mods and techniques. It's one of those things I think would be super cool but probably won't ever get around to doing.

I do have a few itty bitty scars that I've made but like you said, they fade. I think I might heal a bit faster than average.

Oh that's cool! I wish I knew some people in my area so I could get some first-hand information and see some stuff up close. Even if you don't ever get around to having a body mod done it's still a very fascinating subject.

I've been reading about a method common in Africa called packing that involves placing a sterile material in the wound to irritate it and require the scar tissue to grow outwards to push the material out. It's supposed to have a high rate of exaggerating scars for people who don't normally retain them. But there's not a lot of reliable material about it and I keep reading something about different materials (clay, ash, etc.) causing different colorings in the scar tissue but don't have any citations or proof of that.

For me, I think picking or irritating the wound as it heals produces a more reliable scar. I definitely don't use honey as an antiseptic! That causes it to heal up so quickly and neatly.

I do have a tiny keloid from an accidental injury that gives me hope of creating a permanently noticeable scar but I have no idea what made that scar different from my others. It was from broken glass and has remained the same for something like six years but a pretty gruesome burn on my knee has healed so completely I can barely see it.
