SCARIFICATION THE PROCEDURE, PREVALENT IN THE AFRICAN TRIBES, WHEREBY PEOPLE CUT DESIGNS INTO THEIR FACES AND BODIES AND PACK THE OPEN WOUNDS WITH ASHES, JUICE FROM PLANTS OR OTHER MATERIALS IN ORDER TO CREATE SCARS. THE CUSTOM IS SIMILAR TO THE WESTERN AND ASIAN PRACTICE OF TATTOOING AND IS GENERALLY DONE FOR THE SAME REASONS--DECORATION, INITIATION INTO VARIOUS GROUPS AND AS AN INDICATION OF STATUS OR POSITION. SINCE TATTOOS DO NOT SHOW UP WELL ON DARK SKIN, AFRICANS OFTEN PREFER SCARIFICATION. TATTOOING IS PRACTICE AMONG COUNTLESS PEOPLE AND CELEBRITIES TODAY.
