Looking For Track Mark Pics

[AnthonyM83]

Hey guys,

Working on a school project where we're acting out a drug treatment session as presentation. I'm trying to find good pictures of track marks to show my groupmates to try to see if we can draw some on with makeup or marker or something. We haven't had good luck searching images online...they're all far away.

Thanks

I can't find any pics for you, but I can give you a fair description...

Track marks are not to be confused with puncture wounds or injection scars, all of which may be present on an IV drug users arms. Track marks, in my usage, are when the carbon residue that occurs when the drug is heated and injected actually 'tattoos' the vein and surrounding tissue around the vein to form a black shadow of the vein as it travels up the arm. My best description would be akin to when someone gets 'borged' on Star Trek and those black veiny things form across the face and arms.

To get a make up effect, I think the best way would take someone with easy to see veins (a pale skinned Irish type like me works the best) and use perhaps an eyeliner pencil or a light charcoal pencil and trace along the veins that are visible through the skin.

Good luck!

Asys,

Could you suggest a certain brand and shade of eyeliner that would be best for this? L

Thanks guys.

Yeah, we were using Yahoo search b/c it was the default on that computer. Guess google is a bit better

GOOGLE By far above and better than Yahoo.

Repeat after me - I will not use Yahoo, I will use google.com

Just go to a coffee shop at 3am, in any city. You're bound to find one with in several feet of the door. Just yell "cops".
