AORTA films presents Leave Your Mark: A Guide to Intentional Bruising
with Golden Lamb

An AORTAlive Workshop
Recording link sent out morning-of / Class starts at 3pm EST
**Recording available for 14 days after the class**

Calling all sadomasochists! Do you love leaving or wearing marks on your body? Want to know just how to better guarantee that those bruises bloom? Then this workshop is for you!

Who doesn’t love a good bruise?! From the fresh red marks to that delicious black and purple and blue, all the way to shades of green and yellow, the kaleidoscope within the journey of a bruise is a thing to behold. Come learn a little about the science of how bruises happen and how they heal. We’ll explore some tips to help better guarantee marks, discuss the sentimentality involved in bruising, and learn considerations for bruising darker skin. Spend some timing learn about one of us sadomasochists’ favorite trophies. Maybe we’ll even create some together in real time! 

This class involves a presentation, scientific information and a live demo.

This class is open to all genders, sexualities, and experience levels. Come and play!

Open to all 18+

About your Presenter:

Golden is a New England based Black, genderqueer Leatherdyke and Leatherworker. They are a sadomasochistic switch who is wet for leather, bondage, power exchange, needles, heavy impact and being mean. They’ve been practicing BDSM since 2018 and making leatherwear since 2019. Some of their greatest joys are groups scenes and laughing at people when they’re in pain. Follow them @goldendyke and @goldenovine.
