Scratched-skin art photos

Here’s something for you fetishists and art collectors out there: Ariana Page Russell has dermatographia, a skin condition that causes welts to temporarily form wherever the skin is lightly scratched. In these photos, Russell turns her skin into a canvas for designs and text.

You know, I can do the same thing with my naked body and a room full of mosquitos. The patterns I come up with are usually a lot more random looking, though, and end up bleeding and scabby within a day or two.

More about dermatographia here.
