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

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

      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
