Otaku Photos

I found these on a Japanese blog called  V-blog, which is kind of a “best of 2channel” site. The original 2Channel thread the photos come from seems to be gone, though.

Harajuku Cosplayer

The kids you see hanging out in front of Harajuku station in Tokyo every Sunday are famous for their outlandish fashion and extreme cuteness, but some of them have a real dark side. If you look at this girl’s left forearm, you’ll notice that it’s covered with razorblade cuts.

A few people have left comments sayingthey think that what’s on her arm is just writing, but I’m pretty sure it’s scar tissue. If you want to see the gory details, click it. There is some writing on the arm, but the Xs are not. It was even more vivid up close.
