“For Maasai, scars are a sign of strength and beauty. That you can sit trough the pain and not cry out. The ones on my legs I did myself. They are more scarred/ raised because I held the fire longer on my legs. You get more respect for not being afraid and then as well you are considered more beautiful. There are also small round scars on my arms that I created with red hot coca-cola bottle caps.”
