get scarification

I already have a few… but I want to get my daughters name put on my arm. This time I want to do it sober. There’s the challenge.

When I was 14 I had a good friend of mine do this to me. I was in the midst of an incredibly confusing situation, and wanted something to mark that. I was too young to legally get a tattoo, so this was the next ‘logical’ step.

I’ve been incredibly lucky. It was definitely a deep cut, and I don’t have much feeling around the area (I had it done on my right ankle) but thankfully the scar has faded- most people don’t notice it unless they see my leg for more than a few seconds. I have scars elsewhere on my body that were from pretty minor injuries that you can see better than you can see this.

I guess I would just say, make sure it’s what you want. I got mine to symbolize a situation, and after that situation cleared up and I had some clarity, the scar was just…out of place. If you’re just getting a star or something- go for it, but if it’s something ‘deeper’ than that, I would really think through it and make sure you want to carry that around for the rest of your life. Situations, opinions, and ideas change!

I’m not sure what I’d want to get yet, but when I’m a little older I’d love to get a scarifcation.

Probably something fairly simple like a star on my upper arm.

to get 666 on my lower leg in scarification or perhaps black and red tattoo….........
