Yeh but again your assuming that the person who has them went to a professional to have them done.
One of my friends from a while back during a darker period in her life did all sorts of scarification/branding to herself. Using anything from a razorblade, to a paperclip heated with a lighter and then placed on her arm to scar herself.
Yeh it wasn't anything complicated beyond simple letters and symbols, but it was scarification none the less. Sometimes it doesn't have to be a extremely detailed piece of art, to have a personal meaning to the owner. And isn't that what bodymodification is for anyways? It's supposed to be signifigant, not just ink under the skin.
