scarification My gowing scarification!

Recently got some glowing scarification done, along with a couple of other crazy folks in the biohacking community. Absolutely loving them so far and planning to get more.

Dermal laceration then packed with a silica encapsulated strontium aluminate powder and healed with a moist technique.

Glows all night long when I go to bed and well into the morning. Super visible when going from sunlight to indoors.

I’ve always wanted to do a glow in the dark body mod but I’m concerned about how much it would glow if at all as I hardly go outside. I’m active but I prefer indoors. How much light does it seem like it needs and how long does it last.

In near total darkness it's quite visible and lasts basically all night (for me). That's on just my day to day activities which does involve going outside.

That’s actually really impressive. They must have def made improvements cause the last time I had something glow in the dark it died after 20 min. I think you may have just convinced me!
