Nature
Scarifying is the scratching, etching, burning / branding, or superficially cutting designs, pictures, or words into the skin as a permanent body modification. In this process, scars are formed by cutting or branding the skin by varying methods to purposely influence wound healing to scar more. Scarifying is seen by some as a form of pleasurable pain, an erotic or spiritual experience.
Claim
People want cuts for adornment, or as a test of endurance, or as a sacrifice toward spiritual transformation. Being cut is a strengthening and powerful experience.
