Okay guys, I have an idea for a set, but I'm wondering what your opinions are before I get too excited about it..

So, I doubt most of you know, but I have a ton of scars on my left arm (from my depressed / cutting days) and some on my right thigh as well. I've generally tried to avoid showing them in photos because it's not sexy, BUT... I was thinking it might be interesting to do a set ABOUT my scars. What do you think?

Would that be too... Personal? Or a touchy subject for people? I kind of like making a statement, and I've not hurt myself in a long long time, so... I think it would be interesting.


Thoughts please!!! Thanks peeps smile

I think that would be an excellent idea for a set. Unfortunately sets like this seem to not be as well received as they used to be on here. Case in point Sash's latest set. She got a lot of bad feedback for it. Just to be clear I am not trying to discourage you at all! I would love to see this set! I just want you to be aware of the possibilities going in.

Typically, anything dealing with self-injury scars is not very well received around here. I would personally put my vote down as 'not for me'. The whole idea of it irritates me; just seems like attention whoring, and as such, I have no interest in seeing it in pictures. There is one girl in particular on this site that I thought must have been one of the hottest girls I had ever seen, until I saw the scars. Dealbreaker.

But that's just one person's opinion. Do what you want, worse that can happen is it doesn't get accepted.

hmmm I'm honestly of mixed views, I can understand why you would want to do this and whatnot but at the same time and not sure how well it would be received, I know that I myself have trouble seeing those type of scars. I have several myself.

i think it's a fantastic idea!!! it may or may not be well received but i think scars are fascinating. every scar tells a story, our scars both physical and mental make us who we are. maybe it makes some people uncomfortable, maybe it will make them squirm. let it. some of the world's best art was not received well when it was first put out for public viewing. sg is a place for unconventional beauty. and that part of your life is one that many many people go through (unfortunately. it's sad and disturbing, but it's a reality), i think that sharing that will not only help you come to terms with your past (if you haven't already), it may also feel very freeing and be a part of healing. some people who share that history may find comfort in it. i don't think it's "attention whoring", speak with your photographer, treat it delicately, use your past to make a statement. in doing so i think it could be a very powerful and moving set, something sg doesn't see too often anymore...

Thanks for the input guys!!!

Betty I like your attitude biggrin I think I will do it, I won't be doing it for votes or whatever but I think it will be good. I have a friend who's a photographer, not the one who did my set, who would be great with this I think... I want it to be sensual and real, I'm not into hiding my scars, and I hope people would be able to see past them and see that I'm trying to make a positive point with this.

sure it's a touchy subject for some, but this place is SUPPOSED to be about pushing boundaries when it comes to stuff like this, right? i've always preferred sets that had a personal touch to them anyway

Stuff like that used to be pretty prevalent on SG. To be honest, I'm not sure it would do well. SG has gone very "middle of the road" in the last year or so, and it might flouder in Member Review forever and ever. I don't agree with that, but it's what's been happening.

That being said, you're drop dead gorgeous and I'll sign up for new naked pictures of you anytime. wink

You could always try them under some sheer material, lace or the like...... that way they will be there, but not 100% on display. Once you've done those see how they look, and how you feel and move on... sometimes not seeing tells you as much as seeing smile

Personally I just wanna see another set love

Hmm that's an idea, the sheer covering.. BUT my point is to expose myself. I mean my girl bits are on here, I want to have all of me here!

You can show your scars and show other parts as contrast. Contrast in photos is so important. Light/Dark, Clean/Dirty, Black/White, Scars/Smooth, etc.

It can be a story of where you were , where you are, and where you are going...

^^ Exactly Repo! Yeah that's what I want... I was thinking of starting it in black and white, and gradually bringing up the saturation, something like that. Anywho, I'm excited. smile
