I
am trying something a little back strange in the garden this summer!
Vegetable body modification! The idea is that around mid june-july if
you are growing pumpkins or gourds or anything similar then you give
the vegetables a tattoo ready for Hallowe'en come October 31st!
I suppose it is actually a bit more like scarification than it is
tattooing, but anyway. It's super easy and hopefully, come October I
will have something to show you!
You
take a pin or even a thumbtack and a template of your design or
message. Use the pin to etch out the details on the surface of your
pumpkin, but be sure not to dig out any skin in case it gets infected
or some bugs move it! Just scratch it on the surface – the pumpkin
will 'bleed' a watery substance! As the pumpkin grows and turns
orange the etching will grow into a raised scar and your pumpkin will
be hardcore with it's own body modification!
Here
are some examples I found online!
