#Scarification #Africa
Scarification is a traditional cultural activity, widely performed across Africa as alternative to tattooing, as ink doesn't stand out well on dark skin. It is the practice of incising the skin with a sharp instrument, (such as a knife, glass, stone, or coconut shell) in such a way as to control the shape of the scar tissue on various parts of the body. Scarification is a long and painful process, and a permanent modification of the body, transmitting complex messages.
