can you tell me about cutting

[Etoile]

you can die from getting poked by a needle enough times it's just not easy.

Lemme tell ya though, I sure thought I was going to when I got my tattoo!

 

[Aeroil]

hehehe, well if you wanna kill someone with a needle you'll have to be jabbing at them for a long time, not a very nice way to kill someone.

Well if it hasn't killed these two it's probably okay!

I saw them not too long ago one one of those extreme tattoo tv documentaries on people who go through transformations to be cats, lizards, etc. It was pretty cool. I've found so far that they are the most docile people He calls himself Enigma, and they've been dating for some time now.

Yes, he's the Enigma and she's Katzen. He was on an episode of X-Files long ago. There's also Cat Man (who has had his mouth surgically reshaped to be more like a cat muzzle, in addition to having whiskers pierced, brow implants, etc) and the lizard guy whose name is escaping me right now - he's on those documentaries a lot.

"For the enjoyment" - can you explain a little more? I ask because I suspect jeffreysub is going to jump on this and hear it the way he wants to, and I'd like to hear the details from you personally.

By the way, I notice this was your first post. Welcome to Lit.

I like the satisfaction from the first sharp pain to the day the scar fades. The enjoyment came from knowing that I controlled the slice. Then when my ex would do it, it was complete giving in to him. mmmm talking about it makes me miss doing it.

Thanks for the welcoming I'm sure I'll be around for a while! I'm already quite addicted

yes yes. I believe they were also on "ripley's believe it or not"
Cats seem to be a popular transformation. I saw the older guy with the wiskers, muzzle etc. Katzen as them too. There is also a much older guy out in the "wild" of some other country.. lives purely in a little shack, bathes in the river etcetcetc.

She has the muzzle now too? I hadn't heard that!

not so much a muzzle but the piercings for the whiskers

My best friend from high school is slowly getting his dragon/lizard tattoos done - in a similar fashion as those. Kinda neat as he has the tattoos and paintings able to glow in the dark.

Isn't it the best pain though! I am completely addicted to tats and piercings. But unfortunantly my career choice has made such a practice difficult...

Princess,

Here's a first-time, low-key encounter for you:

I was at a seminar a couple weeks ago and talking with a performance Dom who does public whippings and floggings as well as knife and fire play.

I'm not even really sure how it happened but at one point he's like, "Here, let me show you." and he took my hand and pushed up the sleeve to my shoulder and stroked my arm and looked me right in the eye and said "I am NOT going to cut you. I need you to know that so that you don't flinch. If you flinch or jerk away you could get hurt so if you need me to stop say so, but do not pull away. Now, close your eyes."

And he proceded to mark my arm. It was not painful, merely intense, and he did not cut me although at one point I was just sure I could feel my flesh separating a bit.

When he was done everyone stood around exclaiming over this fantastic mark he'd made down the length of my inner arm. Not a single spot of blood but a really good swelling line that I could feel for hours later.

This was two weeks ago come this Saturday -- 12 days -- and I can still see the remains of it on my arm. Faintly, now, to be sure, but I just wanted to point out that you don't need to bleed in order to get marks that stay for a good while.

About those whippings....

Aeroil,

Internal organs can be damaged by badly placed and ill-controlled blows.
A single strike from some whips can not only break the skin but lay it open and tear the muscle underneath all the way to the bone. This is a serious injury by any definition.

I used to love cutting till I weened myself off it slowly. now I only 'scratch' now and then.. tho I havn't due to not freaking someone out...
I also love tattoos and scratchplay ^_^ biting...
waxplay is a favorite as well.

tattoos are the best, the guy couldn't believe i was laughing when he did my back. i really need to get a new one.

 

[Liana26]

I've never done cutting but I've been burned with a small part of a wire hanger. OUCH. The mark should be there for a few years, which is what we intended.

I've been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo, but truthfully I think I'd rather get my clit pierced first.

wow - thank you for sharing that experience - it sounds incredible ~

When I was researching information on body piercings last Fall, I came across a website where they perform decorative cuttings. They referred to it as "Body Etching."

Descriptive Information:
http://www.ringsofdesire.com/etching.html

Photographs:

http://www.ringsofdesire.com/etching_images2.html

If I were given the directive to choose between a tattoo or an 'etched' design, I'd probably take the etching. They are attractive in a subtle way when fully healed.

Some prople prefer to make their own marks as a symbol of ownership, and there's nothing wrong with that as long as the wound is taken care of properly. Any cut that breaks the skin is a wound, and is vulnerable to infection no matter how you look at it. Whether you received the cutting in BDSM play or for body modification purposes is immaterial.

If you are a diabetic, you may want to think twice before undergoing any type of scarification or tattooing procedure where prolonged healing times are the norm. Better yet, talk to your doctor first.

...and scarification?

do you have any first-hand knowledge on the subject?

what types of cuts? what instruments were used?

were the cuts made with the intent of scarring?

on what areas of the body were the cuts made?

if you haven't ever done it or had it done, would you consider it?

can you describe the fulfillment derived from the action?

I don't have any erotic scarification, but soon i'll have some decoreational scarification.

I'm getting cutting on my chest, and probably some on my shoulders and back as well. The cutting is made TO scar, and there will probaby be some dermal removal as well. Nothing but autoclaved, unused, surgical grade stainless steel scalpels will be used to make these cuts.

The very first scarification convention (much like a tattoo one but with scars instead of tatts)

I had never understood cutting, I always found it to be a crazy notion/excuse when people say they feel like their emotions escape through the cuts. But...my Domme and I have been experimenting with blades and knives and her fingernails...scratching me....she hasn't cut me to bleed yet, but left noticeable scratches and I swear the feeling that came from that was unbelievable, much different than I imagined. I've realized that is much different than negative emotional release cutting or self harm so that helped me overcome my aversion to it, although it also did give me some insight into how it could work like that.

I was anticipating that I would not feel that great about it but I would take it because I knew it pleased her. I didn't think I would have a negative reaction to it...just didn't really think it was "me" either. What originally sparked my interest in it was seeing someone be cut by her lover...and the intensity of the reactions was so damn hot, so I didn't want to shun the idea based on that.

The first time she used a knife on me, it was only erotic....trailing it over my skin, never scratching or anything, peeling off wax, etc. But this past weekend...she pressed harder, her actions were more deliberate...it started with her fingernails...tracing them over my skin and then pressing down and scratching me... I nearly had an orgasm just from that, and I do NOT come easily. I didn't realize until much later that the fingernails actually left a mark/scratch.

When she used the blade...as usual I found the cold sensation of it very erotic, the trailing over my skin would leave me in shivers and squirming, but when she started actually scratching me all I wanted was more, harder...like a "FUCK ME!" menality, only in this case the "fuck me" was "cut me".

That's as far as she went this time....she likes to tease me, heh.

I was thinking it would feel like when you get a paper cut, annoyed, not exactly happy about the feeling. However, it felt like a release almost...when she would first press the blade against my skin, I would take a deep instinctive breath and hold it, like a gasp almost, but as the blade would dig in....I'd let that out into a moan and every second of it was worthy of that moan. There is a point between the blade being on your skin and the blade cutting your skin (or scratching it I should say) that is comparable to say, when you are very turned on and finally am allowed to touch or are touched, that feeling of intense relief mingled with, oh boy...I need more.

I wrote a story yesterday about my weekend, and here is the part about cutting...

"At times she will tease me with her blade, threatening to bleed the very submission that courses through my body through my fragile skin with the slightest pressure. Cold steel pressed against warm, trembling skin, fingernails trailing across a quivering breast as she watches my face, watches my breath come in shuddered moans of longing. She will press harder, leaving a path of pale white against cream, a tease of all she is capable of. My mind comes into sharp focus in those moments, the intensity of the emotions so strong my body can barely contain them as I tremble and shake and bite back pleads and begs. Please take me, please hurt me, please mark me. She has not cut me yet, no...she denies me that pleasure and I have yet to beg for it, but I have no doubt she will make me beg until I'm sobbing, until there is nothing else in that moment I want more than for her to press that blade into my flesh and cut me, take me, bleed me. My pain for her pleasure."

Erm..hope that helps. I have a lot to experience yet, but that's a good start I think.
