if youre unsure of something should you do it? i know the typical answer is no but in a case like this im unsure. let me explain a bit. im thinking about getting a tattoo. now in a case like this if one is unsure the answer is again no. this is a permanent life choice dont do it if you arent sure duh. but again this isnt your typical case. i want a tattoo for my depression. its going to go on my left wrist just above my cuts and its going to read “remember that i love you” as a reminder to those i love and those that care about me. and its not that i dont want it i do. id love to have it and id think it would do me wonders to have that reminder there. but it is permanent. although i believe it will always have meaning i still fear that maybe one day ill regret it. any thoughts?

oh i forgot that theres gonna be a little butterfly at the tip of the R to represent me. to remind me that im pretty like a butterfly but also because butterflies are fragile and so am i.
The only concern I ever have when I think about getting tattoos is that I might ruin them by cutting, and that it will mean that I probably wouldn’t cut again, at least not anywhere near it. So for me it’s kind of tossing that out as an option entirely, and I’m still not sure if I’m okay with that.
I’m uncertain, if you want it you should get it. I don’t feel like you’d regret it later if it’s something you’d want now, also tattoos aren’t super permanent, they can always be reworked into something that you’re happy with later. But it is also sort of like a scar though, but one you choose to put on yourself for decoration, yes it might not be able to come off but it can evolve into new things as you age and decide to change it. I’m sorry this is probably not helpful at all. I kind of want a tattoo one day too.
the first thing its going ABOVE my cuts so it wont be a problem. leaving me with the option if i want to. it was helpful though. what tattoo are you thinking of getting?
I’ve not given anything specifically that serious of thought, but some ideas include a bonfire from dark souls, or an umbreon and a gengar hanging out. I’m not quite normal.
gamer? my friend likes dark souls. he streams games on twitch. actually hes busy with that now lol. i think the bonfire would be cool. it would have a gamer meaning but could also have a deeper meaning. like the fire burning deep inside. lol
Well it’s more because bonfires are a place of safety in Dark Souls, so you know bonfires are a bit of respite in an otherwise dark and cruel world. xD
is anyone really? lol
After my kool aid idea I don’t know about my advice any longer?
tattoo sounds nice, the only thing is you said above your cuts, I have no idea what that would look like, my point is would it draw attention to them that you don’t want?
the tattoo isnt for others. its a reminder for me. it gives me the option to still cut if i please but because of its placement it forces me to stop and think before i do anything. plus i dont really care. ive given up on the whole sweaters in summer thing. my mental state is no ones business and i dont care who knows.
Yeah, I just threw it out there.
lol im not so much worried about the look. im more worried about the fact its a permanent decision. something ive never been very good at. i typically turn away from permanent things, im not even sure i want to dye the end of my hair black and thats less permanent i can just cut it off. but where this is something that could help me in the long run id really like to do.
and before its mentioned im married which to me is a permanent thing because i will only be married once because after the first time does it really have the same meaning? anyway that was a spontaneous thing where i was like lets get married after calling it off and on the whole time we were together (thank you, you stupid depression) and we were married with in weeks after that and i just buried my depression from the world even though that whole day i just thought about suicide but no one knows that not even him. we plan on redoing our vows and i really hope that i will be feeling a lot better that day. i dont want to fuck it up again. sorry i kinda of side tracked from the tattoo lol 😛
Well it is permanent, I’d say think about it some more, a few weeks or whatever won’t hurt.
a few months to save up the money. i have it now but i dont want to go broke getting it. and ill get my hair at the same time. i already asked both and its 80$ for the tat and 60$ for the hair
There you go! Me and shatterediris been talking about food so much, I had a dream about eating, the part that is funny was they were treats and they tasted so………………….. good! I don’t remember dreaming about tasting things? But they tasted better than anything IRL!
Oh yeah you and the bakery probably had something to do with it!
opps….sorry?
No it was cool!
Wonder when people will talk about our friend from the other day? Pretty much left us guessing.
spooki?
Yep unless I missed somthing?
no you didnt miss anything
something 🙂
who knows although technically the answer would be now because were talking about it lol
That is funny! It sounded pretty serious.
Either she is gone or really high because I don’t think she would leave us hanging, If she is gone her troubles are over.
Or in a hospital 🙁 (hopefully not)
yeah that’s if she’d had a chance to call 911 you know when you inject that stuff it really works fast.
Or somebody walked in on her
*Or if…. I hate that we can’t edit our posts on other people’s things.
People can’t help but speculate.
I hope everything went well for her either way.
