More About Erron Black Marks
Scarification involves "scratching, etching, or some kind of superficial cut or incision as a form of permanent modification of the body, similar to tattooing."
Scars are formed from cuts or burns on the skin in a pattern or pattern. However, the scar is variable from person to person, so the simpler designs have better results. The color of the skin and the healing process affect how the final result will come out.
The brand can be made in several ways - 'hit' brand is the same process that marks an animal, in which a piece of metal is heated and then pressed against the skin; "Cautery" brand is one where a device similar to a cautery iron is heated and used to draw the pattern for the skin; "Laser" brand uses a device similar to an arc welder, which creates a spark of electricity that burns the skin. Of the three, the laser mark is the most accurate and can produce the most complex designs.
Cutting can also be done in different ways - such as with scratches made in the ink to mark the skin before (but this will make it look like a badly made tattoo), or skin long areas of skin to make a larger scar / design. Both methods can, however, leave an inconsistent scar.
Risks involved with scarification include infection, unwanted scarring due to the cut going too deep or the mark being left for too long. Scarification is a very radical process, more painful than a tattoo and can take a long time to heal, and sometimes need retouching in order to achieve the desired effect - in the case of artistic ones that can look very beautiful.
