….Love Hurts.
It hurts even more when it is proclaimed with cigarette burns.
On Modblog we feature some of the most amazing artistic scarification in the world. Yet, we often overlook the rarely updated ritual cutting and ritual branding galleries when looking for pictures to feature. In these galleries the scarification is rarely about the finished result and usually about the process.
For a picture of the process of this scar, keep on keeping on.

I don’t know, this impresses me. One could argue that other forms of body modification are stupid (and ugly maybe) as well. The ugliness of this is what appeals to me.

I might be the only one, but: I LOVE THIS

I used to cut myself when I was younger. Because I was a fucking idiot.
You would think being a former cutter that I would have sympathy and understanding for people that do this to themselves, but I dont, whatsoever. To me it shows a lot about your personality. Weak, pathetic, wasting life. Because thats what I was. I figured it out, and I changed, by myself.
All these cutters and burners have there little cutter friends that they bond with, that keeps giving them the motivation to keep doing it, when it should be the opposite.
I truly dislike stuff like this being posted on BME because it encourages these people to continue doing it, and it makes them feel like “they are not alone” and gives them assurance that its okay to do. You’ll never get better or feel better by continuing this crap.
These people need help. Im not trying to bash them, but I think they need some guidance and understanding, not a razor or a cigarette.
Obviously someone else took these photos for this person, which disgusts me. Instead of seeing this and knowing of these and trying to help this person, they chose to pick up a camera and fucking glamorize it?!
Fucking assholes.

Well, it is interesting, it will leave nasty scares (got a sig burn on my arm wich is like a year old, but it doesn’t look that nice..).
But well, it is just a way of cooping, some people choose for getting a tattoo when, like a person died.. When his love (note: not lover but “love” as a feeling) he choose for this. And as long as he didn’t do it without thinking about it, I can’t and will not judge it 🙂 I bet he’s a cool guy to chill with.

I’m going to throw my hat into the confused, why-is-this-here ring. I’m going to agree with Lauren on this one. I think this is a mundane action taken to extremes, which could theoretically make it extraordinary. Extraordinary doesn’t mean good. As evidenced by several posts and half the drunks at the local bar, a large portion of normal, non-modified society has cigarette burns. That, in and of itself, is nothing special or unique. Just because someone took it to an extreme, doesn’t make it better. It’s like breast implants. Hundred of thousands of women, and men too, have them. You don’t see ModBlog posts about the biggest, most outrageous breast implants. Just because something is done in excess doesn’t make it any less butt-ugly.

Oh wow… I have a very small cluster of cigarette burns on my right forearm from my “younger days” that I regret. It’s hard to look at something this crude when you see so much good work on BME.

I think it’s gritty. And different. And sometimes I like to see that all the whiny, self loathing MFers in the world will actually break or burn or cut something, instead of just… well, whining. If it’s their body that takes the brunt, so be it.
I self mutilated as a child (not a teen or a preteen, mind you), and this does not offend me. It reminds me of the intensity of my emotion back then- something I definately lack now that I have gotten my feet firmly on the ground.
I dunno, guys. I just really like it.

Wow. Ten years later. Anyone still interested? I’ll tell the story if so.
