The Skin Worm That Drives You INSANE [SCP-021 Lore]
Have you ever wondered if a tattoo could be more than just ink? SCP-021, infamously known as the "Skin Worm," is a terrifying answer to that questionโa living, sentient tattoo that whispers forbidden secrets directly into its host's mind, but listening could cost you your sanity. Dive deep into the chilling lore of this anomalous ink and discover why the SCP Foundation has gone to such great lengths to contain this seemingly simple entity.
This video explores the dark mystery of SCP-021, a Level 4 Classified anomalous entity that takes the form of an intricate, serpentine dragon tattoo. But this is no ordinary body art. It slithers across its host's skin, a silent predator hunting for its next meal: the pigment from other tattoos. While its movement is unsettling, the true horror of SCP-021 lies not in what it does, but in what it says. Its voice, a low, hissing cadence that no recording device can capture, speaks only to the one it inhabits. What does it say? The answer is the stuff of nightmares. Foundation researchers have documented hosts descending into madness, driven by whispers of ancient languages, cryptic riddles about their own future, and dark commands that defy all reason. Join us as we piece together the fragmented reports and harrowing testimonies to uncover the truth behind the Skin Worm's voice.
