All, we’re getting ready to start up the thread for this. Rules are below. For obvious reasons, we aren’t keeping this in the public sphere. There’s enough gatekeeping on the topic as it is.
The thread is an unlisted, invite-only thread, for anyone who wishes to show off or discuss ritual bloodletting.
18+.
No talk or depiction of deliberate self-harm due to mental illness or penance, no wishing to commit unalive. Only blood shed for ritual means. We will remove anything that isn’t deliberately outlined as being devoted to some named ritual, even if vague. No wrist cutting or deliberate yet meaningless (aka uninspired) self-harm.
Nothing exceptionally gory (or if so, please hide under a summary or spoiler tag)
If you’re interested, reply that you are or send me or @Veil a PM saying the same.
I got a lancet drum which can’t be pulled off, most lancets have a cap attached it so if your lancet device breaks then you can still draw out blood without the device.
I try to stay away from the bone. It doesn’t seem to bleed much more when struck, but takes longer to recover from. I typically don’t feel the lanced areas the following day, so long as I don’t hit the bone. I have stuck the same site repeatedly before and that takes longer to heal, which makes sense.
I’ve lanced my chin and cheeks before out of curiosity, but these weren’t really worth the price of the lancet, compared to the fingers.
