Where do you cut?

[Blood_Thorn]

I am just curious where everyone cuts/has cut, personally I had cut a few times on the wrist but moved to shoulders and hips/pelvis because they are less visible. Also is there any places that are safer to cut than others, or ones that should be avoided?

[Harley Quinn]

Arms, thighs, stomach, ankles, face, hands, hips, forearms, biceps. Basically, a lot of places. We can't really give you advice on where the safest place is to cut but, anywhere that's away from prominent veins and such. No place is safe to be honest, you just learn where it hurts more and where you think you'll like it best. I know I avoid certain areas such as wrists, chest, basically areas of thin skin, avoid those.

[Mynick]

I cut in both of my arms, between the wrist and the elbow, shoulders and my belly. Siobhan said it all, there isn't a safe place where the skin is thin since its more likely to cut a vein.

[numbness]

Legs,shoulders,all up both arms,stomach and hips....nowhere is safe ad after above

[Desuetude]

I have previously done calves, arms/wrists, stomach, hands/fingers. I stick with thighs now but they're completely covered with scars, I have no more room and I prefer arms but I try not to there because people see but eh. As long as you're not cutting on top of a vein that you can see then I suppose you're okay, if you're going quite deep though then I'd be careful, thighs are probably safest I'd say.

[1_21Guns]

thighs, ankles, fingers, arms, the best thing to do is avoid anywhere that there's a main artery particularly if you cut quite deep.

[ksdnfkfr]

I go for places where it can be kept it secret. I use a knife tip and go slowly rather than just make a quick slash. I'm very deliberate and methodical.

[LouBerry]

Real high up on my legs/ thighs, where I can hide them. Like Siobhan said, there are no "safe" cuts.

[xXl0sth0peXx]

Nothing's ever safe, but that's been said so I'll shut up about that lol

My wrists and arms are my absolute favorite, but it's too hard to hide, so I guess that leaves upper legs and stomach. Basically, a good rule of thumb is if you see veins, stay as far away as possible.

[CrazyGirl94]

My wrists, im usually walking round in the hot summer with long sleeves on

[asbel_garcia123]

I used to cut on my arms, then dad noticed. I tried my thighs and stomach, but I don't like it there. So now I cut on my shoulders down my back slightly.

[West Coast Sheriff]

Thighs and sides, sometimes but rarely arms

[Animelover16]

on my thighs,wrist,arms,,,,trust me,hidden scars are painful than visible ones.

[Soulless]

Cut other people, not yourselves.

[Tarannosaurus]

I cut my legs but I used to do wrists, arms, chest, stomach and neck.

[UnknownError]

When I cut it was always on the top of my left arm and then my right if I ran out of space. Never went below elbow because I couldn't hide that.

[Katiya]

Wrist and arms both sides and legs but not deep there as I have to cover them in gym with makeup.. I found it the easiest to hide. I wear decorative arm warmers all year. No one asks, they just notice my fancy arm warmers lol

No place is safe. But iI've found it hardest to cut over tendons. For some reason it just doesn't cut well there.

[Cygnus]

The one and only time I have cut myself (1.5 years ago) it was in my face. One scar going through my face.

[Kyle9000]

My left arm from the elbow up to my shoulder and my right arm from my shoulder to about 5 inches above my elbow. Where not to cut? Try avoiding thin skin and the insides of ur wrists and elbows.

[JoobinTwist]

I don't do it, I don't see why others have/do. I used to be extremely suicidal, I'm not sure why I didn't kill my self, I'm glad I didn't though. Anyway I also tried cutting then and it just hurt a lot didn't help with anything tho lol. I tried on the forearm

[hongkongfuiz1234]

I cut on my hip and upper thigh, and sometimes my ankles.

[Fanta_Lover44]

I always do it on my leg. That way I only see what I've done and no-one else needs to look there.

[HDScars]

Arms, wrists, legs, shoulders, ankles, a lot of places.

[RazorKissed]

I haven't cut in about 6 months. However, I used to cut my legs, hips, pelvic area, forearms, wrist, shoulder, higher part of my belly, and chest

[irishguy123]

i don't cut, never have, never will and would urge people not to, talk to someone if u need help, family, friends, neighbours, professional help. have the courage

[skittles_was_here]

my wrist,above the elbow, shoulder, and close to my ankle

[Keats]

thigh, getting it covered with a tattoo in march next year if i've quit by then

[Imaustinigeuss]

knee my feet oddly my tumb and other random places

[Kathy]

I used to on my left shoulder. Now left forearm.

[mermaidfairy]

I mainly do it on my thighs or my hips where nobody will see, or my stomach. I have to hide it or I'll get into loads of trouble. Sometimes I'll do my ankles. If I do like my arm or something I do it one at a time so nobody thinks it's more than a papercut.

But it's good that cutting didn't help, really. It's not worth it to start cutting because then it becomes an addiction that is hard to stop. It's better to solve the problems then go down the road of cutting!

[Mastretta]

Inside my forearm

[HeyMrsTambourine]

On my thighs and knees...

[kittyprydexo]

i cut on my thighs and the top of my pelvis area, anywhere that is descreet really, i wanted to cut my wrist once but didn't want anyone to see

[Twilly F. Sniper]

I cut my left forearm most of the time. Occasionally my right forearm.

[Malcolm Tucker]

Right arm, usually forearm, sometimes the left, stomach, hips, upper thighs

[Sleepwalking]

Lower legs, stomach/chest, left arm, and towards my left shoulder.

[Ingrid998]

My arms and legs

[Seemyheart]

I havent for a couple months but I used to on my left wrist, I kept it in one place so that way I could focus on keeping that one particular place hidden

[nearwales]

i used to do my stomach but stopped because it is too obvious. now i do my thighs and very topof my arms. thighs is good because ot hurts for longer but there are lots of veins there so i cant do it too much. i sometimes do shins when i am in public because it is quicker and i dont have to remove any clothes

[MisterNobody]

I cut on my upper left arm. I practically live in t-shirts and hoodies, so nobody has ever noticed it (thank god). I've had a few... fits of rage that resulted in damaged to my left wrist and right hand (and the scars are visible unfortunately), but other than that, that's it. I stick to one spot (for now, at least).

[thatgothgirluknow]

wrist there is no safe place but wrist is probley the most dangerous

[lifelies]

Legs, used to on wrist but it's difficult to hide

[jesusogpaign]

Inside of my left forearm close to the crook of my elbow so it can easily be covered by sleeves even when they're rolled up

[Hallie]

wrists and arms, thighs, and ankles. It's really hard to hide, but somehow I've managed.

[ImagineRepublicCity]

It used to be my left forearm until I had to show my mum so then I started to do it on (mostly) the inner side of my left leg.

[Caver]

On my waist/hips because they're scarred anyway.

[EmmaJane]

Real high up on my legs/ thighs, where I can hide them. Like Siobhan said, there are no "safe" cuts.
I do it there too :(

[RavleIncarnate]

I used to cut on my back, but I cut so much I had to stop or I would die...and I still need to make more friends for my resolution!

[EmmaJane]

If you need a friend you can always VM me. I can't PM yet :(

[RavleIncarnate]

Thanks, ill remember that... Wanna be friends? I made a resolution to make at least 300 friends here by 2015... And I'm just as open. I used to cut, because it felt like the physical pain relieved the emotional. But I kicked the habit.(Luckily)

[Dizzy]

both underarms on both side and my ankles

[King_of_Hearts]

Left forearm about 4 inches down...

[SheriK]

Forearms, thighs, upper left arm and stomach.

[Amsey]

Back of the ankles was were I did it :/

[DarknessUnicorn]

I cut on the inside of my left forearm.
Yup exactly where I do too >.<

[Captain Canada]

Mostly my thighs and occasionally my left wrist. Rarely I will do anything below the knees. Once I did my neck but I wont do it again

[MysticalBurrito]

Ankles and lower legs lately. I can't do my arms or other areas because family and boyfriend get suspicious.

[Etcetera]

arms

[nik511881]

Mostly my thighs and occasionally my left wrist.

dont get too close to your privates :yeah:

I usually cut around my nails.

[dingleberryz]

i cut all the way from my left wrist all the way up my elbow and above that I like to carve words.

[PrincessInPain]

I cut on my left wrist up to my elbow, my upper stomach, and thighs.😔

[Ocelot]

mostly my thighs because I can hide that, sometimes I mess up and cut a couple times on my left arm between my wrist and elbow

[AlexOnToast]

The one time I did do it, it was on my upper leg

[Croconaw]

My arm

[justkeepswimming]

rist,arms,legs,hands and feet

[RakshaMalayka]

My left arm from wrist up to shoulder, both shoulders, stomach, both thighs, right calf, ribs. I used to on my back, neck, and parts of my right arm too.

No place is safe, cutting too deep in any area is dangerous. As suggested, avoid areas with thinner skin or main arteries/tendons.

[Babs]

My wrist, usually on my left one because my left hand is hopeless for everything. Plus, I've already got scars there so may as well keep them as condensed to one area as possible. I don't really want them all over my body.

[wonderland]

Feet, lower legs, thighs, hips, stomach, chest, shoulders, arms (mainly my left arm since it's too weak to make bigger cuts on my right arm) and hands.
It originally started on my lower legs but after they got filled up with scars I moved onto other areas, and the cycle has just continued from there.

[Afrollama]

Always the top of my left arm, it's easiest to cut deep there, and it's easy to hide

[FakingxSmile]

I cut on my left wrist, my legs and left hip.

[Luminous]

rist,arms,legs,hands and feet
