Oh...well I guess I wasn't looking for bra strap marks

I was too busy rejecting the idea of carving skin off my body...

So why did she choose bamboo anyway? Is she a huge fan of bamboo? It's true that it's a pretty versatile building material, but so is a lot of stuff. I like bamboo as much as the next guy, but what's the point of carving it on your back?

versatile bamboo

more versatile bamboo

Regarding body modification by excision, specifically as in this example it appears that skin has been removed selectively. I have a tattoo of a wedding ring that I would like removed from my finger (long story). My apprehension about excising the skin from that area is this: will it "grow together" over the wound, thereby lessening the surface area of usable skin, thereby "stiffening" that finger? Because I'm a drummer, and I don't want to change the "action" of my hand. Barring this, I have no problem having a scar there, to replace the tattoo. Anybody familiar with this?

Tattoo removal like that is done by laser, and in fact D-lister Kathy Griffin just got that exact thing done, ring removal.

glatt · 09-29-2006, 03:48 PM

My understanding of tattoo removal is that it is done with lasers that break up the ink under the skin. The skin becomes somewhat irritated, but remains intact.

or you could just find a cool ring you like for $5 and ::gasp:: cover it

Flint · 09-29-2006, 04:45 PM

@all: Thanks for the advice.

However, my feeling regarding laser removal is that it is prohibitively expensive for the questionable effectiveness it has - I don't want to begin a cycle of throwing money at repeated treatments simply in order to justify an initial investment. And I don't want, at the end of it all, for it to still be slightly visible, at the cost of thousands of dollars. If I physically remove it, it will be gone. And, my money will still be in my pocket.

Regarding covering it with a ring, I hardly think I could have missed that as a :::gasp::: idea. I am aware that rings exist, and are available for purchase. However #1 the location of the tattoo ring makes it impossible to cover with a physical ring (picture a slight "webbing" extending past the "bottom" of the tattoo) and #2 on principle, it would still be there - which would not be the case if I excise it and wear a cool scar there instead.

I'm curious if anybody is familiar with the healing process of this type of selective excision, as I've ruled out laser treatment and ring-wearing as options. I have also considered (and tested with promising initial results) a careful program of abrasion and corrosive compounds (such as papaya enzyme and lemon juice). Also, I could "brand" it, but I'm afraid the scar resulting from that would still be pigmented.

I'd go with Bruce's advice. Burning or abrading your finger skin in any way is bound to cause problems using your hands, at least a little. You could extend it into a whole back-of-the-hand-up-the-fingers thing, that could look cool.
