Scarification techniques: other techniques

Yesterday we talked about the two techniques scarification most common, Branding and cutting. In today's article the rest of the techniques will be explained: chemical scarification, by abrasion, by injection and with a tattoo machine.

Likewise, we will explain the risks involved in this process and the care that is needed to avoid them.

Chemicals

Chemicals that irritate the skin, such as acids, are used for this technique. This technique can be used to completely erase a tattoo. The chemical can be poured directly onto the skin or applied to the scalpel with which cuts will be made later.

Abrasion

For this method, a rotating device is usually used which, as the name of the technique indicates, burns the skin. Other objects that can be used are a tattoo machine or sandpaper.

Injection

This method does not leave much to the imagination: it consists of injecting liquids into the dermis, which produces a blister that will later be scraped off to produce scarification.

With treatment machine

The main reason people they consider it unsafe es from the trauma they cause to the skinIn addition, the damage tends to be greater than that of a tattoo.

However, there is another important risk both during and after the practice, infection and the spread of diseases. Regarding the moment during which the scarification is carried out, it seems logical to think that the instruments used must be properly sterilized, but also that gloves and masks must be used with which to avoid contagion through the air. What's more, the worker who performs it must have anatomical knowledge of the skin to avoid cuts that are too deep and serious injuries that put the integrity of the same at risk.

Once this body modification has been carried out, it must be taken into account that they take time to heal, and that during all this time a general cleaning will have to be carried out combined with the use of antiseptics, medicinal soaps and ointments.
