Scarification

                                                       
Sketching,etching,burning,cutting ....a few of the ways tribes create scarification on their bodies.Scarification is done to mark the right of passage into manhood,Acceptence into society and it is also done to decorate themselves. 
Inspiration for markings can be found by look at Sculptures,pottery,poems,short stories and religion.
Scarification began when tribes would use it to mark their slaves, now tribes use it more as decoration or initiation into a tribe.
