Woman Gets 'Tattooed' By Manhole Cover

New York Post: Con Ed 'Tattoo'

A 26-year-old skateboarder is scarred for life after she fell onto a red-hot Con Edison manhole cover — mere blocks from the scene of a tragic death earlier this year when a woman stepped onto an electrified Con Ed cover.

"I landed with my arm and back straight onto the metal cover," Wallenberg said. "I noticed it was kind of hot, but I didn't realize how bad it was until my skin started to sizzle."

"It was such awful pain," Wallenberg said. "There was blistering, and it was like I was branded. You can see the 'O' and the 'N' from 'Con Edison.' The doctor said a lot of this will scar for life."

You know, some people pay a lot of money for 'decorative scarring'; her scars could earn her a lot of cred in the body mod community. Without knowing what the brand is, you could take it for at least part of it as an abstract design.
