“It’s BS eastern medicine about releasing “toxins” but it is actually just breaking capillaries under the surface of the skin.”
“I kinda figured it’s like a really bad rug rash, but made with a coin. Plus, James is pale so these would show up a lot angrier-looking than non-fair-skinned people.”
“I don’t think the coin was cutting him. It looks like his blood raised. Like when you get a hickey. It gets all red from the blood that raised up.”
“I’m Indonesian so I can try to explain! This ‘massage’ is called kerokan. They’re not cuts, the coin is used to rub against the skin and create heat to release the air inside of us.”
