Which shapes have you made?


Mainly squares and other simple shapes, which have faded. The best (and most visible) one is a spiral on my left knee. The next one I've got planned is one based on this box illusion:

Whoa. I almost demand you take a picture if you do it. That seems friggin' awesome.


Of course I'll take a picture. :)
I already have a picture of the spiral.

Share with me as well, plz. Are you on Flickr? We could start a community account for neat scars :)

Wow, it's really my first time to get replies like this, on other forums I started this very thread and got even banned two times....

Who_Am_I: That box illusion is great awesome indeed! I just carve is some abbreviations sometimes, like LWI (Live With It, my local aspie community), or simple triangles, random Roman numerals, etc. My first cut ever was a pentagram (barely visible now because of overwriting and 6 long years).

Cameo: See? We're not alone! :excitedbeyondrecognition: As for too many scars: I got to using all 4 limbs and occasional overwriting. Did you too?

Sim: This means you'd add me on MSN?

Atomsk: Yah, same here, mosquitoes think I'm their best delicacy... as a kid my arms/legs were ful of holes because I scratched the bite till they bleed... now I don't go out that much ^_^

OMG my first successful thread ever! Thanks for everyone for replying.


I'm not surprised you got banned for this.
I think this is very disturbing an i can't seem to make any sence out of it.
Having seen some posts about the subjects i still can't grasp how there can possibly be anything positive about a wound.
It reminds me of this documentary i recently saw about a guy torturing and than killing people for pleasure.
Only this time you torture yourself for your pleasure.
Ofcourse people are going to think you are some sick freak for doing this.

Don't take this as a flame to your post.
I'm just explaining how totally insane and disturbing this would sound to almost everyone.

Not "everyone" as I got posts from people who actually do the same and for the same reasons. Besides, as I said before, it's not torture for me. Hell, we're the very group that has the most need and potential to deconstruct meaningless social constructs, being called "ret*ds" even if talented, and we get the same from our own kindred? WTF?

And if you hate me, why are you here in this thread? You could just stay out of it if you don't enjoy it.

Let me clarify my most since you got the wrong message.
I said "ALMOST" everyone as in over 99% of the general population.
I can't seem to find anywhere in my post where i said i disliked you as a person.
I was merely commenting on the cutting yourself part wich disturbs me.
Having aspeger doesn't automaticly make me a clone of your or anyone else, and thus i won't agree with you about everything.

Aniways i take it you only want people who cut themselves and agree with you to reply to this topic ?

If it's to get a particular scar, how is it any more disturbing than someone who gets a tattoo?

(And it's not torture. Physical pain is one of the easiest things in the world for me to ignore, especially when I'm controlling its source.)

No, I'm not on Flickr, all my photos are uploaded to photobucket.
I could give you a link to a picture of the spiral if you like.

I loved doing it but I was ashamed of doing it for the longest time. And when I finally had the courage to tell someone I was accused of having borderline personality disorder. (It wasn't for attention - I actively hid my work.)

PM'ed you the link. (I wasn't sure if it would be appropriate to put the link here in the general discussion, I'd think that pictures of that sort would go in the adult section.)
