if you don't like this pic leave and don't criticize her and i know how you must have felt and how NO one can help ,especially not councilors, cause it's just how you feel and to all you fucktards who criticized her you should all go die

I'm sorry you felt the need to do that to yourself. I won't preach, because I've been there. I hope you're better now. And I hope the scars fade, it would be a pity to mark up your lovely skin.

hey i'll admit i'm was a cutter and so is my girlfriend... she's gone deeper than me... which i take as a sign as her pain is deeper than mine. some say that cutting is a means of escape... some say it's a sign of crying out for help. that's why i like this pic. good job on it... i really like it. i hope that life is treatin you better. if ya ever need someone to talk to just hollar k? *hugs!*

you know what? shes not doing it for atention for one, she probably did it because she was hurting. two people who did it and dont show it i personaly dont think would get upset, its more like shes brave enough to put the picture up because idiots obviously cant look past the blood long enough to see someones hurt. fucktards. i like this picture...that doesnt make me gross right?

Awwww, thank you. Yes, people can be so ignorant. Why would I do something like this for attention? I was hurting badly... And after I had already done it, I realized I could turn it into art... something positive, from my point of view. I thought maybe others could relate and find a sort of beauty in it. I didn't expect the negative and hateful reactions I got from some people... Ah well. I really appreciate all of your nice and thoughtful comments.

Despite all of the people here with their heads up their asses, I like this. I mean, it's powerful. Everyone really does feel that way at some point or another.

You took a bad situation and used its results to your advantage. Bravo.

Oh, and even though I don't know you, *hugs*

i'm all for visual statements. but there's a certain line you don't cross. i think it's called taste and decency.

furthermore, how are the people who self-harm for an escape *not for attention* gonna take this? you think it's gonna impress them, or help them? no, it's gonna fuck things up worse than they are.

you need to reexamine your defination of 'art'.

this particular piece of art is not only a cry for attention, it's a scream " look at me! i self harm and i'm so fucking cool!"
Why don't you do us all a favour and do it properly next time, eh??

The human body has been an art canvas for god knows how long, it's been subject to all sorts of ideas, theories, "art works", attempts to impress etc. but you have to respect, not everyone will share your idea of art, and thus it must be released into a controlled environment. not just fired onto an already known incredible art forum *gag*

Kyle.

indeed. but at the same time, there's socially acceptable, then there's just plain retarded. i suggest you consult a dictionary to acquire the defination of both.

even at that, her "art" isn't exactly any display of emotion. it's just a fucking word carved into her arm with a safety pin. that's a bit silly and rather demented.

You know what, you obviously have no idea what brings anyone to cut, but instead of trying to explain to you and let this turn into a huge flame-fest, I'm gonna ignore you.

Thank you for sticking up for me I was really going thru a lot when I took these shots; I just wanted to turn my suffering into a form of self-expression that I could share with others. I meant no offense to anyone... I wish people could understand that *sigh* Thanks again

Okay, but the same could be said for any art on this site. There's always going to be someone out there that is some how offended. That's LIFE.

If you don't like her stuff, don't fucking look at it. You have a choice. That's why there are thumbnails.

Erm...am I just one the seemingly very few people commenting here who can understand and appreciate the concept of making a visual statement?

Personally, I like this photo. I agree that the forearm could have been more centered, but I can see some good potential here for a fairly strong piece ifdone by the right person.

And so what if she scratched herself up with a safety pin? It's her arm.

"carve your name into my arm, instead of stressed i lie here charmed"

Why the fuck you carving 'help' into you arm? go and see a councillor, you wingnut.

instead of sitting there scraping words into your arm, get a knife and go across the street, or sort it out. people like you fuck me off big style. i'm had to deal with a shit load of people who self inflict pain - people who have no escape, people who don't know how to deal with problems, but you...you're just an attention seeker. get some fucking help.

If you really need help, go to a councellor. That's really sad, and I don't see how posting it online in an art site is going to get you the help you need from hundreds of anonymous strangers.
