They say once you go black you never go back, right? I can’t vouch for genital size, but I can tell you that when it comes to scarification I’ve seen some of the most stunning work on dark skin — this example, fresh and healed, is by John Durante of Laughing Buddha in Seattle, Washington.
It’s not uncommon to see pale skin actually heal indented rather than with a raised keloid. Here’s an example (four weeks old) by Rox in Kennewick, Washington.
On the off chance that’s a white power logo (which I don’t have any reason to believe), let me preemptively balance out my karma with a peace sign… And I’m sure you’ve wondered what an electrocautery brand on the palm of the hand looks like, right? Here’s a before and after from Shawn O’Hare at The Pain Parlor in Oxnard, California.
Speaking of unusual locations for scarification, here’s an ear brand by Matt Bruce:
Let’s see what else is in my scar folder to tell you about… here’s a big full back cross branding (healed) being play pierced. Photo c/o Kent Fazekas at Outer Limits in Long Beach.
Finally, we can’t forget scarification by body piercing! Here’s the result of a couple tries at a nape piercing (rejection)… as you can see they’ve moved on to new territory and haven’t given up yet!

Cool scarification on that black guy. I think it was Lombroso wrote about some people in Africa who were too dark to have noticeable tattoos so they sported scars.

Yes, it was Lombroso, in an article about tattos in the “Rivista di Scienze Biologiche”.
