Across Africa, scarification has long been practiced as a form of body art and cultural identity. Using carefully cut patterns on the skin, tribes create bold designs that serve as marks of beauty, strength, and belonging. Each scar tells a story—whether it’s about family lineage, social status, or rites of passage. For many communities, these scars are not wounds but symbols of pride, turning the body into a living canvas of tradition. | Unrestricted Borders
