To think 'scarification' just sounds awful??

Countryfile presenter had her arm scarred as an offering to her parter of 10 years?

My DH says it's not unlike getting a tattoo... but this article makes her sound a bit crazy.

Another one who thought this was a gardening thread ...

She sounds scary

cao I thought that too

I had a creepy stalker who did this to "honour" me. Before that I thought of t as just another means of body modification but it got me thinking you have to be a bit odd to do that as the way it turns out is less reliable than eg tattoos

She sounds unhinged in the way she describes it. Never mind whether or not scarification is a good thing.

Tbh, it basically looks as if she leant against something and it left an imprint on her arm, like the time DS sat on the wicker laundry basket with no pants on... If that was DH's "great offering" to me, I'd be fundamentally unimpressed.

Heard of it bdsm terms. I guess she's a sub.

I scarify the garden .... wrong idea!

What about someone like Sacha Dhawan?

Oops sorry - wrong thread. Not sure how that happened.

I came on to say we have just had our lawn scarified.

I read that article - she sounds a bit unhinged. Think my dh would have me certified if I did this 'for him'.

As an offering... That's freaky.
But scarification in itself i think is gorgeous

The story has been across a lot of media. I thought it was horrific and can't believe she thought her doctor partner would like it . She's bonkers.

It looks like she slept on some Lego. It's her body so I suppose it's her choice but it all comes across as very unhinged.

The way she frames her early drinking as being caused by growing up in the countryside - definitely unhinged.

Modifying her body as an "offering" to her partner, who wasn't asked ... also rather creepy.

And then it does indeed look like a row of cigarette burns. She needs help.

Scarification sounds awful, but not much worse than tattoos. (Considering that some tattoo colours are suspected of causing cancer, perhaps scarification is even safer.)

Jesus Christ. Why did I google?

Jesus Christ. Why did I google?

I'm with some of the other pp- I'm pretty sure this wasn't what I studied when we did scarification as part of our agriculture module in A-level geography!

I do scarification. I have an electric machine.

It vastly improves my lawn
