sean_e_b Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'd never even heard of it until I found out today that 2 of my schoolmates had it done. I've known of the process being used in African tribes, but I never knew what it was called. If somebody would have mentioned scarification before today, I would have thought they were talking about Seal's face or the name of a heavy metal band. So am I out of the loop since I live out here in the boonies, or is this no longer taboo? Also, does anybody else find it as disgusting as I do?

Hubbs Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Eh... it seems like the arm contained burnt outlines in the first pic, then solid burns in the second pic. I call shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I thought about doing this for my first "mark" (since I can't call it a Tatt), What is left is a raised scar of what you desired, I saw one where someone got a biohazard symbol electrocuted into their shoulder. I thought it would be a cool thing to get a raised scar of the Script R... Turns out I just got the tatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissance Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I've noticed a few football players with the raised scars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliz Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I've noticed a few football players with the raised scars. I believe there are a number of fraternities that are known for this, like Alpha Phi Alpha. A more common word for it would be "branding" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yeah, there's one fraternity (not officially recognized by the college) at Longwood that brands themselves. The Deltas. I used to lift with a few of their guys, they all had the triangle burned into their shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corcaigh Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The frats should just wear identical polo shirts with a popped up collar. It's the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
