| '''Chemical scarification''' is simply that, [[Scarification]] using a chemical reaction as the means of either further irritating a wound achieved by another means (i.e. [[Cutting]]) or directly producing the wound. | | '''Ryan Worden''' (born September 11, [[1973]]) is a former [[Piercer]], having worked at [[Stainless Studios]], [[Skew Skin]], [[Tat-a-Rama]] and [[King of Fools]]. |

| __TOC__
| | Ryan and Corrie reside in Ontario, Canada with their three daughters. |

|
| == Method ==
| | Ryan can also be found making an appearance in the classic Roddy Piper movie, [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110215/ ''Jungleground'']. |
| In the first case, the design of the [[Scar|scar]] is cut into the flesh using a [[Scalpel|scalpel]]. Then, a chemical irritant is added to the cut to ensure heavy, [[Keloid|raised scarring]]. This irritant can be anything from soap to formaldehyde.
| |
|
| |
|
| In the second case, a chemical is used exclusively to achieve the scarred pattern.

| The method for this is usually as follows:
| | * [http://www.bmezine.com/news/guest/20070423.html Gorilla Glass: Jason Pfohl Interview by Ryan] |
| | |
| # The area to be scarred is shaved, washed, and prepared.
| |
| # The pattern is blocked out on the skin in negative using some water-proof and chemical-resistant material. This can be Saran Wrap, Vaseline, or tape (with heavy-duty tape being, arguably, the best choice).
| |
| # The chemical is added to the negative space in the blocking, creating a positive of the pattern on the skin.
| |
| # During a period of 2 to 10 minutes, the chemical does its work. This is the time when the most [[Pain|pain]] is experienced.
| |
| # The chemical is either rinsed off with large amounts of water, or is neutralized chemically.
| |
| | |
| == Chemicals == | |
| While many chemicals are caustic enough to cause scarring, the choice of chemical used is extremely important. While they may seem like obvious choices, acids — eg. HCl<sub>(aq)</sub> (Hydrochloric acid), H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> (Sulfuric acid) — and bases — NaOH (Sodium hydroxide, lye, caustic soda; the chemical used in the movie ''Fight Club''), KOH (Potassium hydroxide) — should '''never''' be used for chemical scarification.
| |
| | |
| Another downside of using strong acids and bases for chemical scarification is that at concentrations sufficient to cause the level of burn needed to scar, these chemicals work incredibly quickly: on the order of a few seconds. A better choice is some oxidizing agent.
| |
| | |
| == Considerations ==
| |
| While there have been successes with chemical scarification, it is not a modification to be taken lightly. It is one of the most painful forms of modification possible, as the slowly rising pain of the chemical starting to react must be endured.
