Hello

My mum has offered to pay for either the whole of or part of a tattoo for me for my 19th birthday. It's to cover up my self-harm scars so it will need to be on my left wrist. I have an idea of having the Chinese symbols for inner strength written, but I'm not sure about the colour or design or anything! so any advice/opinions would be great. This will be my first tatt. I'm also worried about it effecting my job prospects because I want to go into teaching. Just any advice would help. I really like the idea of having inner strength as i have been through a lot and one thing people keep saying to me is how strong I am. I'm begging to agree with them!
Help please
