This can be trouble: No 2 people are the same. Seeing your body take punishment is part of the fun of much of athletics -- maybe this is what you could enjoy doing instead. Blows to the head / neck are dangerous, and sooner or later your self-bruising will cause misunderstandings. If self-bruising is compulsive, please check in for some short-term psychotherapy so you'll become free to put this away. It actually works.
