Got my Self harm awareness tattoo...
 
Yesterday I got my tattoo finally. it is the self harm ribbon with butterfly wings. This way my butterfly can't wash off so it's a constant reminder to be strong and keep fighting. I will be putting pics up on my page soon. Please wish me luck on my road to recovery. We all know it is a difficult journey. Good luck to all of you out there who are fighting as well. LOVE YOU!!!

You know what! Getting a butterfly tattoo shows that you want to fight SH. I won't make butterflies because then I will feel guilty if I cut and it will make me not cut which I don't wan to do. So congratulations on getting the tattoo!! I am proud of you <3

I did think of it :) I love the tattoo. It's nice. when it heals up nice is when I will post pictures. The best part is that It didn't hurt and it covers some scars on my arm. So far I am very pleased with it.

I can't wait to see those pictures. :) That does seem really convenient, it covering scars and such, and I'm so glad that you love it!

Thank you to everyone! You are all so amazing and supportive. This is a fight we can all win. A battle though hard as it may seem is that we will beat. Stay strong everyone. Much love and support ~shoshana~

I have a really bad phobia of butterflies so I draw music notes on my arm. If I cut, I'm breaking the flow of music in my veins (if you can't tell, I'm a musician till the day I die). It helps me a lot more than the butterfly project haha. I call mine the Mozart Motion :)

aww yay! I did the same thing about a year ago, I got two tattoos in the spot that I always cut. They are a good reminder and if anyone asks if its recommended I would say yes. Congrats for going a step in the right direction. I hope it helps you. (:

Hey, thanks for sharing this. It sounds like you're doing well, and I'm glad to hear it; this was also such an inspiring thread. I wish you all the best with recovery. You can do this. :)

Thank you friends. I appreciate all of the support more than I can tell you. It means a lot and honestly this is something I would recommend as well. Although I have a long journey through recovery ahead of me I think that I am in the right direction. I need this and well we all need something. If you find something latch on to it and fight. Love you all!

congrats I just want to say I have a tattoo like that too it says recovery with two self-harm ribbons on it and I got it when I was 2 years cut free well i was four years cut free but now I've started again and have thought about just cutting through the tattoo because now it means nothing but that is not true so i just wanted to say if you do end up cutting don't beat yourself up or ruin the tattoo we all have slip ups mine only took 4 years from the time i got out of the hospital
