An Unexpected Application
This is something that I was not aware of previously. Traditional tattoos are considered to be ornamental, using designs or words on the skin to create a picture or message. Have you heard of it being used to make the appearance of the skin seem average or normal?
What I like best about this tale is that not only did this woman discover a method to help herself by tattooing over burns with a pigment similar to her natural skin tone, but she has also started doing the same for others, allowing them to feel more normal and like their old selves.
