Tattoo instead of self harm

Hi

I don't know whether any of you have ever heard this but i was told instead of self harming to draw a butterfly where you want to hurt yourself and let it fade naturally to allow it to fly, well today i've gone all out and had my first tattoo on the inside of my right wrist. Yep, a butterfly. Allowing it to fly. And hopefully allowing me to be self harm free.
