In relation to the skewer pictures below, here are some current photos that are quite graphic on the subject. This particular photo set is from back in February, and since then the sender has healed without complication and submitted another set of similar pictures of a more recent ritual. Illustration of the depth of the cuts continues after the break.

No matter how I think about this, I can’t see any positive motivation for a ‘self-stabbing ritual’. This is surely the sign of a problem.
i knew a someone who did soemthing similar to “self-stabbing ritual”…i say similar because it wasn’t a ritual at all, it was more of the need to punish oneself and stop dissociating hmmm
hmmm….to each their own.but my god.thats so dangerous.how did he or she manage to not get incredibly injured?i’m almost impressed that they weren’t seriously injured.i’m curious to know what their motivation was? i mean,it obviously wasn’t a suicide attempt.just really,really extreme self-harm?just…wow.shannon, could you enlighten as to their motivation, or did they ask you not to share that?
Im glad people have mentioned that its through the fat layer, so we have a realistic understanding that people with different body types (aka skinny/less body fat) would NOT be able to do this.
But in saying that i’m fucking amazed, even though its through ‘just fat’ its still mega intense… would definately take some mental strength to do that to youself.
wow, that is some SERIOUS boundary crossing….
ok, so expressing negative emotion=self-harm,
expressing positive emotion=ritual?
i know someone like that too, sade
Personally each for their own, but as my own this really makes me feel sick. It reminds me of my own past of self-harm and mutilation and close to suicide attemps. It hurts me to see someone whos obviusley hurting.
How can people just stand back and watch ?
Its a cry for help
that is a sign of a problem. stabbing is no fun.
personally i’m for each to their own
but i definately agree with the statement of ‘someones going to kill themselves tryin to top this’
yes, the human body is miraculous for healing
but i can really see a 13 year old girl finding this, decididing to copy
and killing herself
too easy done
i dont think these pictures should have been posted on this particular site, maybe one aimed more at adults?
thats just my opinion, though.
I bet Shannon would defend someone who purposely aborted their baby so they could eat it. But only as long as they called it a ‘ritual.’
Sorry, but that is really fucking dangerous. Assuming that this is a 10 cm stab wound in the lower abdomen of a female then there is a very good chance of perforating the colon, ovaries or uterus, or severing the fallopian tubes. Perforating the colon leads to peritonitis and, without immediate surgical repair, almost definitely death. Without even beginning to tackle the minefield that is self-harm, this is a really stupid idea. It really saddens me that this site is promoting such a blatantly dangerous activity without the warning that it has a pretty stong liklihood of leading to death. Yes, the girl in the photo healed without incident, but it doesn’t mean it’s a safe practice. Even if you heard about someone running across a busy motorway/freeway and surviving, would you do it?
Well, it appears to be a chubby person… so, being chubby myself, if you sit correctly you’d be able to stab with full force in the correct angle and only hit fatty tissue. Which it looks like this person did. I’m not downing the pain or ballsy aspect, only relieving myself of any crazy thoughts that they may have damaged some organs.
I’m not saying they did do themselves any organ damage (infact I’d think it was very unlikely seeing as she healed without intervention), but I found it worrying that this sort of behaviour is being promoted on this site without any warnings about the obvious and very serious danger involved. I personally think she was very lucky to not do herself damage (and I’m not talking about just organ damage, but also a deep tissue infection and other complications which are very likely to occur if this ‘ritual’ is carried out by inexpert hands and in less than sterile conditions).
I havent read all the comments, and I’m sure people have debated this already.. but as a health care professional, I KNOW that that can be .. really dangerous. I wonder if she is getting more of a thrill from the danger aspect rather than the pain aspect.
After going so deep, it just doesn’t hurt anymore.
Even though she obviously has some fat-padding (which is fine), fat isn’t necessarily even through-out. If she even KNICKED her bowels, she could go septic in record time. If she goes any higher, she could hurt her stomach but most importantly, she ahs a big artery running straight down, around stomach level (abdominal aorta) that also, if accidentally knicked, could easily kill her.
There’s a fine line between self-harm, cutting and the such and the act of purposefully causing harm for the purpose of either suicide or life-risk.
LOL @ #59.
Actually, this really interests me. I have wondered for a long time how much force it takes to stab someone. You see in the news all the time – “so-and-so stabbed their victim 50 times.” But what is that like? I guess if you don’t have a cadaver to practice on, this is how you find out.
Fuuuck. For some reason I’ve always wanted to be stabbed in my lower left-front side. This is amazing to me.
As many users have stated, there appears to be a fairly thick layer of fat on this person’s belly. The knife is also at a high angle. Even with the length of the blade, it appears to not have pierced the underlying muscle layer and certainly not into the abdominal cavity. That would certainly be foolish and could damage the intestines leading to an infection. If done correctly with a clean sharp blade, at this angle, there would only be the obvious pain, bleeding and mess. If the knife had been thrust straight in then it would surely have penetrated the abdomen.
I have always wanted to stab my own belly for various gratification and other fetish reasons, having been fascinated with hara kiri over the years, but I have a knife that has only 5/8 in of the blade showing of a four inch blade preventing any additional penetration. I will be doing this on Monday the 23rd of July, 2012 and will make every effort to keep to the 5/8 in. I’ll be thrusting it straight into my gut at the full 90 degree angle with a lot of force. I’ll post the results here in video and pictures. As far as I can predict from my safety feature on my knife and with my 1/2 in layer of fat, I should only have the obvious pain, bleeding and satisfaction of feeling what it is like to be stabbed without the risk of real damage, save for a little scar.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is mí GF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it is not dangerous!! Slowly push the knife into fat! Oblique angle pushing! The wound will heal quickly!!
