Wow, that’s healed beautifully. The only thing that puts me off a scarification is that I could never be sure how it’d heal (I do have plenty of old scars, but they’ve all healed pretty differently) If I could guarantee it’d turn out as well as this (not to mention find a practitioner in Scotland) I’d go for it in a second!

Omgggg fantastic! I remember seeing the designs you posted for a similar scarification that was to cover up old self-harm scars- and I thought that was the coolest koi cutting ever! This one couldn’t’ve healed any better. I love it!
