I am getting my first tattoo on July 2nd. I wanted to do it before my birthday but they didn't have a time that would work for me.

The semi colon is because of my struggles with mental illness, self harm, and suicide and the kitty cat whiskers are because my kitty cats help me through it.

I'm getting it on the inside of my wrist. I will have to do the left one because the right one is too messed up with scars. I messaged the shop and asked them if they would do it even though I self harm and he was like, yeah no problem.

I will have to hide it from my parents because they are anti-tattoo but I am looking forward to it. My sister and my niece are going to get the semi colon (without the cat whiskers) for me.
Symbolic and celebratory tattoos are so meaningful.

I got both my forearms tattooed. They were my second and third tattoo. I did it so I could no longer SH there. And it worked! I just couldn't bare to destroy such beautiful art. And I've notcied that I don't even skin pick in those areas either. If you get a good artist, one with experience, they can tattoo any type of skin: scars included.

I'm happy for you Kit <3
