Self-harm and tattoos? (Maybe a tw?)

So,

I have selfharmed since I was 11. I'm not saying that as wow look at me, big selfharmer over here, or whatever.

Loads of people have told me to get them covered up. Mainly because they look horrible, no one will love me, I won't get a boyfriend, etc. (That is what others say).

A part of me does want tattoos. Because I love the look of them.

I would be a little cliche though... because I absolutely love flowers, so flowers will be there (probably roses because they are beautiful).

I always considered getting the semi colon on my wrist.

And H.O.P.E on my other wrist.

But there is a part of me that is scared that I'll miss my scars.

Because when people say how horrible and disgusting they are... but they are mine, they are my scars.

😢😭
