Skin Carving, I just heard of it. I've only found a few pictures of one girl. It looks so disgustingly repulsive, well until the last pictures. I would opt out of the carving and just get a tattoo. This girl is insane.

And then the finished product:







Way too painful...

that's a bit extreme even for me........i got bored and carved a pentagram into my left thigh one night, but i used a sharp knife and it really didn't hurt too bad because i took my time doing it. pretty sure that i did it right cause it's still there, not very deep but i think it scarred. wasn't nearly as big or deep as the above pics though.

honestly it was dumb and i'd rather just get tatoos also....they look better and people don't question your sanity as much. lol.

I know! Tattoos compared to carving off layers of your skin (yours doesn't seem nearly as insane as this chick) seems like the better option. Plus at the last picture it just looks like a giant faded red tattoo.

plus in about a week that's just gonna be all scabby and shitty looking, it's gonna hurt like fuck to wear anything more than that bikini top, there's a serious risk of infection......and ultimately it's just gonna look like a faded tatoo. plus it probably costs more to have someone sit there and carve you as opposed to getting a tatoo.

Very true. Plus, to get something to scar forever, which was probably the point in this case obviously, and not just ten years at best, they had to cut real deep and get layers of skin off. It would hurt like hell for months

Um I'm going to go with FUCK THAT!
I'm going to sound like a broken record but, tattoos=yes, this=NO!

I wouldn't even do that if I had a generous amount of pcp in my system.

That pile of skin is fucking disgusting.

Anyone considering doing this is a fucking freak... but the end result is cool looking.

I'd do it. Nothing covering my whole back though, just something small. It's a totally different experience than tattoos, and they won't fade/spread out like a tattoo will (yes, they'll fade, but like I said, it will be different than a tattoo would.) Also the texture would be different, it would be more 3D, etc. I say that if you can handle the pain, then go for it.

Maybe like a tiny like half inch or one inch symbol... Maybe. That would possibly be bearable.
