I’ve got a very similar looking scar on the back of my hand right now. Mine was much quicker and easier to do though. The unfocused beam from a 40W CO2 laser cutter can create it for you in a just few milliseconds!

Ouch! My back of the hand scar was done with a grinding wheel on an angle grinder!
Loved the tutorial!! Will have to add this to my “arsenal”…wonder if caramel would work better for a deeper looking wound than the petroleum jelly???
Cool! Nice and easy tutorial. I can make this one myself for a zombie look. Does the materials irritate the skin?
