Artist Ariana Page Russell has dermatographia, a condition in which lightly scratching your skin causes raised, red lines where you’ve scratched. It affects roughly 5 percent of the population, but Ms. Russell is the only one who has turned her puffy, ruddy, sensitive skin into elaborately patterned high art.
This is cool and all, but I can’t look at it without thinking of the harm a dear friend of mine did to herself because of her body image…
