turns the pain into a work of art

I got a tattoo of 2 baby feet on my lower left part of my tummy. It helps because I dont feel like I have to think about it everyday. I used to because I was afraid I would forget my baby. Now I dont ALWAYS have to think about it but when I do I just have to look at my belly.

It feels good to feel that pain sometimes, but it's not the same kind of pain, and I'm not doing it to release anything like I used to with cutting.

I haven't cut in a decade, but I've got a several tats, piercings, They substitute. in a few eeks I'm heading back to the tat shop!

This is just about the only thing, along with piercings, that stops me self-harming with any satisfactory emotional effects.

Keeps my mind off cutting and makes me think about what I drew and why.
