The idea is simple. The self-harmer simply draws a butterfly on their place(s) of self-harm and, if the butterfly fades without them self-harming, it means it has lived and flown away, giving them a sense of achievement. Whereas if they do self-harm with the butterfly there; they will have to wash it off. If that does happen, they can start again by drawing a new one on.
I just love this idea. Even though I'm not actively cutting, I still want to do this to bring awareness to the cause. I found a simple butterfly pattern online and drew it on my forearm. If it someday becomes a tattoo, even better.

Has anyone done this?

Just remember to never give up, you guys.
