Epic win

wow, i didn't know that. what the law on scaration (spelling?).
It's the same deal for scarification, it's a very grey area of the law but it would certainly be possible to prosecute someone for Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm.

Also, since the introduction of part5, section 63 of UK law (The extreme porn act) there is concern that photographing such proceedures could be deemed unlawful. The issue with this being that the law is so open to interpretation that it can be bused by those of a "higher moral standard".

This law ignores whether the participansts (in the case of scarification the artist and the receipient) were both consenting to the actions. It is applied to anything which is considered obscene , but using the OED definition, thuus taking into account things which are deemed "disgusting", "repulsive" or "offensive to morality". Unfortunately thast morality is defined by the prosecutors and not the participants.

I should point out that under that particular law half of the photographs that I have of myself are illegal. Despite the fact that they were taken by an artist with similar interests to mine, as a study on modification.
