I've had this done in the past. Looks painful but didn't really hurt at all. Bruising lasted for a week.I think that I have seen Kitty with suction marks from cuppng in the past. I also recently saw cupping marks on other ladies, most who were masseuses and thought nothing of it. I had cupping done on me a few years ago, just to see what it was all about. However, the redness from Gua Sha is different, and could cause one to think sinister thoughts.
