thesloaneranger Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 The psychiatrist I saw the other month - When she was asking about self-harming she asked me if I had any tattoos. I don't but wondered at the time if they considered it like self-harm?????? I read somewhere that excessive tattoos are considered self harm... dont know what classes as "excessive" though! last time i was depressed i got a few piercings done because i needed something that hurt, and 3 of my tattoos were done for that reason too, in that they were wanted and thought out, but the timing of getting them applied was influenced by how i felt. im planning on treating myself to a new tat one i stop sh as a reward tho - hmmmmm......dont you just love irony?! pmsl! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanctuary Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 i heard of some guy that had both his legs amputated after an accident and he said his tattoos meant more to his than his legs!! Lose your legs plus your artwork - gutted. I love tat's sooo much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner gal Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Just wondering what sort of tattoos people have? Any to represent mental health or self harm? I have an english rose on my lower back, doesnt represent anything in particular for me. I was at uni in manchester, and I couldnt get an arsenal tattoo, so the rose it was...
