Practical question.

[pocketrocket]

What would leave a piano key bruise pattern. Single stand obviously, if the user had sufficient skill. Anything else?

a cane or a the end of a narrow-bladed paddle, laid on with exquisite precision.

A singletail whip would leave fat little puckery welts, or slightly curving stripes.

Cut a piano key shaped piece of leather and attach it to the end of a crop? I don't think it would leave bruises though, more like welts.

Take an actual piano key and attach it to something sturdy enough?

But whatever the method, precision is the key. And force. You'd basically have only one chance to get each key right, because cropping the same spot many times would only make the pattern fuzzy. So each strike would have to be pretty hard. It also varies a lot from person to person what leaves bruises and what doesn't.

What about a few days later, after bruising has gone purple?

I am not a person to use an implement, but I have spoken long about using one with people that make them and use them so as a point of reference, the tip of a crop paddle, etc is the most likely to leave a bruise. Less likely so when it is well made (rounded edges, etc).

The one crafter of paddles I knew said she thought that holes in paddles were such a bad idea it isn't funny. She used to use it on her now husband and it makes for great amount of bruising. Just tossing that idea out there. The tip of a leather (belt/slapper/whatever) she maintained would still be the most likely to bruise, but requires little shaping because of it's inherent "soft" nature.

A pro sub and bdsm porn star I knew said when it comes down to it, ANYTHING used long and hard enough will bruise, but the tip will bruise the most because it has the most weight, most distance to travel, most momentum, most anything and thus is most likely to be where bruises will occur. She also said that bruises that go down to the bone and bruise the bone itself are the worst bruises that heal the slowest.

Just thought I'd mention that little tidbit.

Just my uneducated personal preference would be a slapper to make such a "pattern", but as a BDSM leather worker I knew said, slappers should never be weighted down with any metal inside. Stitching can come loose that holds the metal weight in place and then starts doing unwanted harm to the bottom's ...er...bottom.

I'm not sure. Bruising is very unpredictable, you never can tell for sure which bruises will bloom and what will just disappear. Even with the kind of deep hits that you get with a whip tip. I guess it's all about the capillaries...

 

[LWulf]

If you are simply seeking to cause a predictable bruising pattern, you might seek to use suction instead of using impacts. A high vacuum (like from a normal house vacuum) held for say ten minutes will burst blood vessels and cause a bruise to occur.

I held a vacuum nozzle on my arm when I was 8 or so for about that long and had a perfectly round bruise for about a week.

Personally, I'm not inclined to purposely induce bruises though. I'd rather cause pain

Still chuckling from this one....

 

[MeekMe]

A custom made paddle with raised surface in a piano key pattern. It's for a story, right? Just make shit up, that's what everyone else does.

Bruises aren't my thing. I like the red welts of a hand print, though.

I find that harp to believe.

Fuck. Bone. Bruises. I've had a few deep ones from high impact (motorcycle accident, heavy door slams) and you haven't experienced a more irritating persistent ache -_- It's not that it hurts BAD, but it hurts in a very particular fashion and--mine, at least--take near a YEAR to heal.

Fuck that shit -_-


Also, the remark to use a piano and the harp pun made me happy ^_^

I guess it would have to be a larger area (especially if done with a piano ).
The bruising will not fade at the same speed all over then, because it depends a lot on where the lymphatic vessels and the capillaries are, underlying muscle etc.
This means it's hard to control how bruising will show and even harder to control how it develops over time.
I think the best way to get a special pattern in a bruise would be to press someting with that pattern into the tissue. The fading process would make it less distinct as the blood underneath dipersed though.

It would make an absolutely awful jangle, but why not one well-placed blow with a children's xylophone toy? The keys are regular in shape and position, often are made of thin metal, and the keys are usually exposed in a way that the keys on a tiny toy piano would not because of the structure of of the piano box.

Maybe, if she sang it in the fashion of an operetta.

No, it isn't. Then again, I don't use safewords, so...

ObPedant: technically, if the keys are metal it's a metallophone. "Xylo-" is specifically wood.

And if it sounds like a badger, it's a daxophone.

And now you got me thinking about the Monty Python mouse organ.

One really solid whack with a heavy leather paddle with the design of one's choice such as the word "slut" or something like that actually does a good job - so if you have a leather paddle of significant thickness with the key design cut into it, you should get a couple of days of this. Must hit once, *hard*.
