I'm planning on getting a tattoo related to my self-harm when I get back from Florida in 2 weeks. My arms are very very scarred and I am very self-conscious. I also still self-harm. I'm planning on having "fearfully and wonderfully made" tattooed on my arm, from the 139th psalm... To remind myself I'm loved and a daughter of God.
For me, this is a reminder of my personal faith and a reminder to reach out instead of harming myself, to remind myself that I have value when I feel worthless, to remind me that my personal faith values (love, kindness, forgiveness, mercy, acceptance) apply to myself as well.
