Oh how I love you TeamLiquid. This post made my day.

On topic, I think that it's perfectly fine to do it if it's been in your tribe or group of people for centuries but not anything else. Anything else is just crazy people to me...

Are you implying that their tradition isn't crazy?

Slightly off topic - but there is a somewhat obscure theory in the scientific community that - in evolutionary terms - the pinky toe is on its way out.

Easily the best post in this thread! hahahaha

I even consider tattoos stupid, so this is just a higher form of stupidity to me. Congrats on permanently scarring yourself because you care what other people think so much.
Some would say that hydrogen cyanide is a delicious and necessary part of the human diet, but others claim it is a toxic and dangerous substance. The truth must therefore be somewhere in between.

Lots of my African students had tribal scars. From speaking to them, they were pre-Christian hand-me-downs, many tribal schisms exist along what are now boundaries between churches and church groups. Living in London many of the African churches used to try and (REALLY) out do each other and scarification was a means of identifying a particularly members' affliction. It was something I generally saw amongst West African people.

Also I knew a guy in to body modification and his dick went septic and fell off. But that is unrelated.

Seconded - I expected a long list of those scare-gifs.

Anyhow, to me, this is basically the same as tattoos. They might be more extreme to apply, sure, but in the end, it's a skin decoration just like tattooing. I don't mind tattoos any, and I wouldn't mind these either, if they became as common as tattooing is. For now, however, I imagine seeing someone with these would raise an eyebrow due to the rarity, but that's about it.

That said, I like smooth skin for physical contact. Running my hand over some bumpy surface that's supposed to be sleek would probably be quite the turn-off.

Aesthetics are important. While I don't think you should be hugely concerned with how others see you/view you/etc. I do think that they DO matter. Even if it's only subconsciously, we ALL like things that look attractive, cool, interesting, and so on. Does a tattoo really matter? Not really. Just look at...

Good ol' ODB.

Anyway, who cares if it's permanent? It adds some flair to it. It's like playing on Hardcore in PoE/D3/ARPG's.

@Post below.
I'm just going to walk away on this one.
