My Tancho scraped her face right over the tancho spot in late November '07 and it faded really bad in some places, with a couple of deep white scrapes to add to the tragedy. I thought, "Shiro Muji here we come--that was sure fast," but that's not how it went. Over the last 2 1/2 months the beni has thickened back up plus some, though the tancho spot has tightened and shrunk as her head grew (she's gained 3 inches to the 7" she was when she arrived in late November and bulked up nice). Here's the changes she's gone through, last one being taken this morning with an inset added from mid/late December after the beni renewed itself (took about a month) for contrast and comparison....




With this kind of recovery I'm thinking this tancho is gonna stay. It'll be a little bindi once she's grown out, but I bet it'll still be there....
