First off, scarification is NOT self harm so dont even go there.
that said, i want a star around my ribcage. is it safe if i use a scalpel and sterilize it rubbing alcohol? i know how to take care of a wound and be careful so i dont end up in the hospital, dont worry.
i just wanna know if its safe to use a scalpel.
btw, the only place that does scarification (like professional) is 95 miles from me, and its cheaper if i do it myself.
....uno slight problemo: i dont know how deep to cut.

Don't go for it until you're sure how, Daylight. Preferably if you absolutely won't go to a professional, at least have someone there with you in case you end up doing it wrong X(. I do wish you luck!
yeah i guess i'll go to that place in SF...i'd do it myself if i knew how deep to cut.

well said Briggs!
sometimes I think about something like that (inc tattoos) but usually the meanings come and go like the whims I have for fan-fiction and unfortunatly very lttle has stood the test of time for permanience (sp?) upon my skin
it's done.
got it yesterday
and no i always loved stars, even since i was a kid. i always had those glolwy stars that go on your ceiling, and i have tons of clothes with stars on them and my wallet has stars on it, too. i dont know why i have an obsession with stars, haha.
I had those glow in the dark stars that you put on your ceiling. Than again, I was an astronomy geek.

did you make your own constilations or had them at random?
I knew someone who "drew" the lines connecting the stars to show the pictures
I actually made the constellations but because they were so spread out they just looked like the stars were placed at random.

still cool tho
I did glow in the dark star stickers on my canopy bed when I was younger
now I have other activities to light up my night

the adhesive tape itches so much but i need to keep the bandages on for 2 weeks. sigh.
And its like 90 degrees during the day so its worse. Fml. But my star looks awesome so its worth it.
