    Hello there, notice something a bit crazy in that fingernail? Why, that's a dead baby scorpion.

    You know, like the predatory, poisonous animal that can sting the crap out of you.

    Women in Mexico have lately been applying scorpions to their nails as decoration to liven up their manicures.

    According to PopSugar, the idea for scorpion nail art originated with Durango, Mexico–based scorpion fanatic Lupita Garcia. She concocted the crazy plan with her friend Rocío Vidales, who happened to own a nail salon.

    The scorpions are applied with tweezers to the nail, and then coated with a thick acrylic paste.

    Oh look, THERE ARE ALL THE LITTLE DEAD SCORPS!

    And yes, the stingers are left on.

    And here's the finished product:

    This definitely says "do not fuck with me."

    For stateside scorpion lovers who are looking to get this done, you'll unfortunately have to travel to Mexico — for now.
