![]() ![]() Please keep in mind that the skin is the body’s first protective layer and very important. They so can hurt, but at the same time, they don’t always because of nerve damage that has occurred do to the burns. Hypothermia (low body temperature) and hypovolemia (low blood volume) are also possibly complications of severe burns. Infection, blood loss, shock, tetanus, and sepsis are risks with all burns, but the risks are higher with third degree burns. Without surgery these burns will heal with severe scarring and contracture (permanent shortening of a muscle or joint). Third degree burns can be waxy and white in color, or a dark brown color, char, and be raised and leathery. ![]() The worse the blisters are, the longer it takes to heal, and there is a possibility of skin grafting being needed to repair the damage. They typically heal withing three weeks, often without scarring but with changes to the pigment of the skin. Second degree burns cause the skin to be read and to blister and may be sore. This would, without a doubt, destroy the tattoo. A third degree burn destroys the epidermis and dermis and may go into the subcutaneous layer as well. A second degree burn effects the epidermis and part of the dermis, which means it would touch the tattoo, but it might not completely do the job. A first degree burn only touches the epidermis, which would not effect the tattoo. Tattoos are put in on the dermis layer, the second layer. The epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous layer. A first degree burn would do nothing for it. But even that seems iffy, so it seems to be that it might even require a third degree burn to be sure that the tattoo is completely gone. This would mean that her tattoo–if I’m understanding this correctly–covers roughly 18% of her body.įrom what I’ve managed to discover through some basic research, it would take at least a second degree burn to burn through and obscure a tattoo. The upper back is one area, and the lower back another. Basically the surface area can be estimated by dividing the body into areas of 9%. Tattoos also go under the skin, which is going to be important to remember in a bit.īody surface area is roughly estimated using something called the rules of nines. Additionally, seeing as her father would want the tattoo to last, as it was the culmination of his research, he would have made sure that the ink wasn’t going to run or fade. The tattoo itself stretches over her upper and lower back. And he did, at least part of it.īut let’s look into these burns a bit more. ![]() In addition, we know that she asked Roy to burn it off of her back, to deface her back so that no one could learn flame alchemy again. We also all know that it is the reason that Roy knows flame alchemy. We all know that Riza has a large tattoo on her back that holds the key to flame alchemy, put there by her father, and revealed to Roy by her. ![]()
