Thanks, I hate it. Not because of the hole, but because of how unhealthy the skin looks in this picture.

Were you expecting it to be smooth like plastic? The top layer is basically a bunch of dead skin cells that keep flaking away from the top layer and building up again from the lower layers.

I am aware, but it still looks very unsettling. The fake colour actually makes it worse I think, because I have seen plenty similar pictures in gray scale

It would only be smooth if it was shark skin.

Mmm, skin flakes.

Scanning electron microscopes image in a vacuum. Nothing looks 100% like it does at sea level when you suck all the air out.
