Yes; but in the days prior to the destruction of the Temple by the Manchus. The monk who was chosen to leave the Temple (after a series of tests culminating in the wooden dummy chamber) was finally expected to lift a large cauldron of boiling water to activate the door mechanism. The cauldron was lifted with the forearms and marks on the cauldron would leave indelible burns on the monk's arms: a dragon on the left arm (nearest the heart) and the tiger on the right arm (furthest from the heart).

What does the six dot tattoo on Shaolin Monks mean?
Those are not tatoos. Those are scars from the burning of incense. The Mahayana Buddhist monks (especially the Chinese monks) burn their scalp with 6, 9 or 12 incense sticks for three purposes: 1. to give up the insistance about their bodies 2. to make an offering to Buddha 3. to cleanse their "bad karma" that they've created in their "previous lives."

Can I be a model if I have a burn on my wrist that will NEVER go away My skin is good and I don't have scratches or anything COULD THAT BURN MESS IT UP FOR ME?
I think if you meet all of the other requirements to be a model, then a small burn probably wouldn't be an issue. With today's Photoshop and other image technology, not to mention heavy-duty makeup and cover-ups, it likely could be air-brushed away. Many models have tattoos and other markings on their skin that are air-brushed out by technology or covered up by make-up artists.
