Scarification is a crude form of body art, much like tattoos. The two main types are branding and cutting. Branding is done usually using a small tool to create complex designs. Usually heat is used, but some opt for cold branding, which cools the branding tool so much that it leaves a burn. Cutting is using a scalpel to carve complex designs into the skin. A derivation from cutting is skin peeling, where the scarification artist peels away skin to leave more pronounced scars. The whole point of scarification is to leave visible scars on the skin for something more unique then a tattoo. Scarification is also practiced by some African tribes as a right of passage for children and adults. There are professional scarification studios, but usually a tattoo artist or piercer will take scarification art as an additional service at their business. Scarification is not the same as self injury. Because it is classified as body art, for it to be legal the artist must not give their client any kind of anesthesia.
Scarification is also the term used to describe the process of raking moss out of a grass lawn.
