Why is this in the self injury forum? not judging but I don't really think tattoos are self injury I view them as artwork...so I just am hoping you aren't like putting yourself down for wanting a tattoo as there is really nothing unhealthy or harmful about wanting to get one...especially if its something to represent your experiences and means something to you.

Also though, My brother has some tattoos and has gone to good tattoo artists, and from what he's learned its best to decide for yourself what would be the right thing to get. Though nothing wrong with looking for suggestions, just important to make sure its something you really want that represents you or something you care deeply about. That aside you could have a quote done in artistic lettering maybe even intertwined in an interesting design if I got words tattooed on me that is probably what I'd do. I also am considering getting a tattoo, perhaps something to do with my obsession of music...and actually it goes a little deeper than that if there wasn't music I do not think I'd still be alive but gives me one thing to be passionate about even if I suck at playing instruments and reading music...at least there is plenty to listen to.
