I get alot of clients who have self harm scars.... I believe alot of people who use to cut have now coped with their depression or pain or whatever they are going through in their life with tattooing....
(were all mad here ; tattoo done by me:) in moms typewriter)
and some come in to either completely cover up a really sad past. or they will decorate it in remembrance. Either way, when I have these special clients come in I very aware of what they have gone through cause I was there in my life time and time again.
its a blessing for me to help these people cope in a much healthier way.... hey, some people just prefer pain. it makes them realize they are still alive and they are still human.
