Explaining a tattoo about self harm?

Thelivelyh

Well I want to get a small butterfly tattoo on my wrist or LOVE written there.
My boyfriend asked me why I want a tattoo and I don't know how to explain.
Im struggling on here to explain to ask how to explain... I don't want him to think it's a stupid reason.

I've self-harmed in the past and very recently just stopped completely. I have scars (mostly on my legs) and im sure that my boyfriend will just say I have scars to remind myself of self-harming, but I want the tattoo to basically show myself that i've overcome it. How would I explain this in the simplest way possible?

I'm pretty sure some people are going to say that tattoos are a form of self harm but I don't want anyone who is going to say that to answer. Its my body and its to show myself that i've overcome something that kept me together for years.

So basically how would I explain? And which is better, butterfly or LOVE?
Thanks

Answer
You could just tell him straight: "I don't know how to say this and I'm sorry if it makes no sense, but..." And then explain it as you did in the question. Say that you did it to remind yourself that you're strong and of your accomplishment. He should understand.

And I like the butterfly idea.

If it were me, I'd get a tattoo of either:
- A symbol for hope or strength.
- Something with Personal meaning to me: eg. "Never give in." because it's a song from a band which have helped me a lot to get me through life.

Tattoos covering Self Harm Scars?

EdianBlair

So, I wanna get a tattoo on my arms but I have scars from previous self harm incidents.

I was wondering can tattoos cover the keloid self harm scars?

Theyre pretty raised and yeah.

Also, What design should I Get to better the cover up?

Tnx! :)

(Please No Rude Comments)
Actually on my wrists Im planning to have LOVE on one and YOURSELFS on the other,

Answer
A tattoo is PERFECT to symbolize a memory. I love your idea by the way! My best friend and I were self harmers as teens and once we recovered we got matching tattoos of monarch butterflies, because black and orange are the colors of the self harm ribbon. If you know you're going to be proud of your ink even when your skin ages, go for it! <3

Tattoos covering Self Harm Scars?

Tattoo ideas for overcoming self-harm?

My-Bloody-

I want a tattoo on my left fore-arm because I'm recovering from self-harm. I was thinking about something that symbolizes strength or recovery. Like a phoenix (http://oreozili.deviantart.com/art/phoenix-tattoo-41449489)

or butterflies going up my arm because of the butterfly project. (http://www.tattoodonkey.com/my-work-no-placement-forearm-category-butterfly-free-at-the-apple-app/tattoo.com*sites*default*files*styles*pin_page*public*field*image*tattoo.png/)

I don't want a word or any chinese characters, but a piece that would take up the majority of my forearm/wrist.

What tattoo should I get to cover up self harm scars?

butterfly tattoo self harm image

Q. My right thigh is completely covered in thin white scars, and a few deep purple thick scars and I want to get them covered up. I want something that resembles change, carrying on with life, or moving forward from the past

I was thinking either a Phoenix or a kind of decorated quote of some sort..

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Also please don't comment about self harm. This was a long time ago and I have quit and realized I was wrong.

Answer
It's fine :) we have all been there ... Maybe get something like "let go... But don't forget" as in saying that I am letting go and moving on but I have learned from my mistakes and will never go back.... Easy to just say the quote xD... Then get some pretty dark red roses with vines or some other flower that you like that has pedals that fall off that turn in to butterflies :) hope this helped

What should I get for my first tattoo?

Q. I'm 16 years old with some thin(yet deep enough to not disappear) self harm scars taking up the top of my left inner forearm. I decided to have them covered up (which my mother is all for by the way). The tattoo has to mean something. My ideas were a crown, an anatomical butterfly, a dragonfly, two crossed arrows, or a small quote. ( Im up for new tasteful ideas, though.) Im not asking for anyone to tell me to wait, or say I'm too young because my scars aren't fading and I went through a lot when I made them so I don't want them to just disappear. I want something to represent my struggle with depression and suicide. I need tasteful suggestions and opinions.

Answer
Something about Jesus.

Jesus Christ took the sins and pain of all mankind on him.
So therefor I think that would be the perfect tattoo over scars.

( A bath of tears and scars through the years
tattoos in prisons, looking forward to freedom from fears. )
