I did that a few times with red marker when I was a teenager and trying to stop. It works but sometimes it's even more triggering. Glad it worked for you though!

One of my IP roommates had done that before having a panic attack and winding up IP. So when they did the skin check she had all this angry profanity and drawings all over her thigh. I wish I could have seen the nurse's face.

Never thought of that. But am thinking of getting a tattoo to cover the scars on my arm and hopefully to deter me from doing it again.

I did that. I got my left forearm done, now I'm just trying to save the money to get my right forearm done. I know I won't want to destroy the artwork. Won't stop me from cutting elsewhere on my body but it's less satisfying in other places so I'm hoping it will help if I'm ever in crisis again.

Yep it's my left forearm. And that's exactly what I'm hoping, that I won't want to destroy the artwork. Never touched my right arm. Hopefully won't start.
