Thanx bby. Here's some more leg w/ blood after I took them out. Not sure that's the goal of modern acupuncture, like at all, but in its history it was a method of blood letting. I'm not doing chi meridian bullshit, I think there was a practical reason they used to do stuff like this.

"Previous studies of the Iceman’s tattoos have hypothesized that the lines and crosses etched into his skin offered therapeutic benefits rather than simply serving as decorative embellishments. As Ancient Origins’ April Holloway writes, the tattoos, which were created via small incisions traced with charcoal, align with “hard-working areas of the human body,” including the ankles, wrists, knees and lower back. These spots are commonly associated with acupuncture treatments, raising the possibility that Ötzi’s community knew of the practice some 2,000 years before it was believed to have first emerged in Asia."

Otzi! That's where I had originally gotten the idea I believe.
