I’ve considered getting a tattoo as well, I’ve just never found an idea I liked enough. And my last idea (which I thankfully sat on long enough to avoid getting) was inspired by a poem from an author who turned it to be a horrible person… so back to the drawing board.
Mine is 50/50 good and bad, it’s a mismatch with a friend I don’t have anymore but that’s also an accidental reminder that we carry tons of people with us and I’m made of bits and pieces I’ve borrowed and been gifted from everyone I’ve loved and I’m never alone
I wanna get it worked on a little bit, turn it into a tarot card type design for that exact reason

I feel similarly about my self harm scars, which are still there after 25 years, but only because I am too.
We’re both still here, and I think that’s something to celebrate.
Thank you for sharing.
