DIY surgery.

Not for the faint hearted.

 

Self-surgery is the act of performing a surgical procedure on oneself. It can be an act taken in extreme circumstances out of necessity, an attempt to avoid embarrassment, legal action, or financial costs, or a rare manifestation of a psychological disorder.

 

Yubitsume (指詰め, "finger shortening") or otoshimae is a Japanese ritual to atone for offences to another, a way to be punished or to show sincere apology and remorse to another, by means of amputating portions of one's own little finger.
