Absolutely no chance at all those are real cutting scars. Ambercrombie would hire a semi-attractive clean person and then use make up to add them on.
All the scars are nice and clear and uniform, rather than completely jagged and off angled from each other. Since we all know that people cutting themselves are entirely in a mental state to have full control over their motor functions.
Scars are in "attention" zones, aka high visible places that people could see but not at all in a location on the body that could cause any type of real damage, because clearly people who are at the point of self-destructive actions are thinking, "Well I got to make sure I don't hurt myself".
And as we all know 'suicidal' people are always so active to want to be plastered everywhere for fucking pep brands and these types are also always going on and wanting everyone to know they are suicidal. Bet her parents are super stoked to have had someone they know show them the add for their daughter with her 'suicide scars' for everyone to see. Bet that's something we'll totally see.
Fake as shit advertising. Probably a dozen more reasons it's fake to beyond this.
I will admit to knowing nothing about cutting, but from what little I do know, aren’t they too high up the arm? Almost every time I have ever heard of people cutting, it is their wrist, since there is a high chance of hitting a vein.
Not all self-cutting is a suicide attempt.
"Confidence cuts" to get used to the pain before going for the big drain.
The ones on the upper arm look really stranged positioned.
The ones on the lower arm are "okay".
In general you cannot generalize cutters, since it's just a symptom and coping mechanism for an underlying mental illness. Some cut, because they deal with emotional pain and the physical pain is a more welcome alternative. Others like to punish themselves, because they feel like they should be punished.
People also like to hide their wounds, that's why I think those locations are strange. (inner) thighs are a way more popular area as is the torso.
I suppose. I have obviously never considered anything like that, and it would largely be useless to me as a side effect of my autism is that I have an absurdly high pain tolerance (for example, I went 10 years without knowing I had a broken foot). However, I will tend to bite things when I get stressed or am anxious, and that can include biting my fingers until they bleed.
Cuts up there aren't abnormal, but they are rarely where they start. Like if someone started cutting that far up, its because they've already turned the lower arm and many other places to shreds already.
So they'd be completely believable if the lower arm had except for the two shown that look completely different than the others.
A lot of cutting is on the forearms but not near the radial artery.
they are.
source: I've dated crazy bitches who cut themselves.
Cutting scars are almost always straight like this. Cutters don't have parkinsons.
Nah. Generally women cut their inner thighs and upper arms because these places are easier to cover up and hide. Look it up.
Anyway your assumptions and speculation about cutting at all wrong and you don't know anything about the subject. Take it from me, a person who has researched it and dealt with women who did it.
Cutting is generally done to cope with self-hatred, not for suicide or attention. Girls with BPD engage in terrible behavior towards other people, and their "conscience" doesn't function properly, so they can be a sociopath 1 day, and then the next day suddenly be overcome with intense self-hatred and loathing for all the terrible things they've done. Cutting (or other self harm) is how they cope with those feelings and get over them.
This is where most cutters do it. Cutting is about the pain. The pain helps them with stress and the adrenaline boost is kind of addicting. I don't do it intentionally, but when I bust a knuckle while working, the rest of the job seems to go more smoothly. Pain is a strange motivator like that.
There are better methods to cope, and usually cutters do it because of stupid first world style problems. That is, they aren't busting their knuckles doing anything useful so they kind of crave some real pain to drown out the petty bullshit that fills their lives.
Here's where you're wrong:
Niggers get what's called "keloid scars" and you can absolutely have these nice, straight scars from cutting.
If those are keloid scars then OP is a fag for claiming they are self-cutting which makes me right for pointing out those are not scars from self-cutting. Which makes you a fag for saying I'm wrong.
And again, those aren't from self-cutting.
I spent ten years working in mental health in a non-medical role.
They look exactly like the self cutting scars I have seen. Upper arms and upper thighs were the most common. Usually on the left arm, so they can use the right (dominant) hand to cut.
Scars like that are from cutting through the skin layers to the fat layer underneath, then healing without stitches. That is why they are wider in the middle than at the ends.
Plus, why waste the money on a vfx artist when one of the danger hairs on the set definitely knows someone who will jump at the chance at permanent memorialization as an "ally".
As some other people said, it doesn't have to be a suicide attempt or anything. This could very well still be fake - it does look a bit uniform - but I do know some people cut their arms like this, or other locations. This looks like something that could potentially be real, but could also be fake.
One way to find out if they're real or not is to look up the model and see if the scars in in other shots.
