Jag hade länge haft funderingar på att hänga någon form av suspension tillsammans med min man bena. Helst av allt ville jag hänga en tandem där han skulle hänga i en superman och jag i en coma under honom. En coma kändes dock väldigt avlägsen för mig, det kändes främmande och skrämmande med krokar på kroppens hela framsida. Alla historier om hur speciell, intensiv och, för vissa, obehaglig coman kan vara gjorde mig också tveksam. Men ändå, så vackert, vilken upplevelse att dela. Efter mycket självrannsakande och funderande insåg jag dock att jag ej var redo för en coma. Jag ...

I spend a lot of my time praying in my bath. I never used to be religious. I dabbled in Christianity, attempted Buddhist chants, even started growing a herb garden for pagan rituals. But none of that gave me the sense of spirituality I craved. I had a friend ask me if I had ever felt a oneness with nature. My response was 'depends what drugs I've taken'. It made him, and everybody else laugh, made me sound cynical and cool to all his friends who stood around us like an audience, but it wasn't what I felt. I felt ...

Beginning to delve deeper into Body Mods, I considered myself a prodigy of the art. I turned my body from something that I loathed into a masterpiece of tweaked and edited parts. My legs are now a canvas, my arms are now my slate. I hope this experience accomplishes what it should: to educate the mass youth interested in body modification, and to annoy the veteran piercers. So, with that said.. I will warn you now, what goes on in this experience may be unsafe, illegal in some states and countries and very..very... irresponsible. It should not be taken as ...

My alias is Ayame, and I'm sixteen, and am new to body modification, although being interested in it for many years. Before I begin my story, my modification history is: two ear lobe piercings, four years of regular/ritualised cutting, but no other sort of biggish modifications. My story starts in my bedroom, a week or so ago. I'm not the newest to cutting (I have been cutting for four years now,) but I'd like to talk about my most recent cuts. These are the cuts that landed me in the hospital for stitches. I was feeling particularly upset and angry ...

This is the story of my second attempt at a six point Vertical back (suicide) Suspension. My adventure began on Saturday morning as I set out for the 8 hour drive to Pete's property. Armed with not much more than a mud map and an idea of what direction to drive in I found my way, only getting lost a few times. Saturday evening was spent socialising and watching other people get drunk. I had decided my suspension preparation was not to involve alcohol as I wanted a clear mind in the morning and a hangover would have spoiled my ...

Depression runs in my family. I can recall long periods of time when my mother was adjusting to new medication in attempts to control her mood disorder. This was complicated by the addition of anxiety disorder, and so as drugs were substituted in and out in the hopes of finding some way of complimenting without interfering, it was expected that there would be wild mood swings and irrational emotional responses. It's always been a fact of life. My older sister has escaped the stigma of mental disorder, but only by adopting into the line of thought that mental illness is ...

There are very few people in today's society who dare to differ from the crowds and followers of "popularity". There are even less people who will truly stand up for what they believe in. Even in the U.S, supposedly the "land of the free" many people tend to be slaves to trends and traditions, never venturing out on their own to find new, unique styles. Perhaps that's one of the greatest faults of today's people. However, there are some of us braver than the rest, who will filter out into new-age groups, who are slowly bringing back individuality and independence. ...

A little background will help this story come together more smoothly. My sister Renea was three years older than me and although she tormented me through our childhood, she was my best friend and my "Mommy Wombat" when I needed her the most. Our father died on her 13th birthday and even more so after that we stuck together and experienced everything together. My mom stranded us both in an effort to reconcile her lost past and to avoid the monstrous commitment of 6 children, though 3 were over 18 and out of the house. The loss of identity, abandonment, ...

Most people would say that cutting is self-destructive and an act that should be frowned upon. I don't care if you believe this statement to be true or false, hopefully there's something in here for everyone. Maybe it will shed some light on the subject for the "non-believers", be something other cutters can relate to, or at least be a nice form of entertainment for all you others. I don't think I started cutting because I was depressed or angry, I can't actually quite remember, but I know it serves a very different purpose for me today. I've never been ...

Det var i februari 2005 och det var dags för min tredje suspension. Jag hade tidigare hängt två suicide, båda med sex krokar, men det var länge sedan nu. Jag hade haft arton månaders paus för graviditet och amning. Nu var det vintermodfest i Göteborg och jag hade bestämt mig för att prova en kneesuspension. Eftersom vi hade vår nio månader gamla son med oss så var det meningen att jag och min man bena skulle turas om att hänga, jobba och ta hand om lillkillen. Mina två första suspensions var visserligen tuffa att komma upp i, men krokningen till ...
