Cool DID Swag! Not so cool to others. lol

Wow, very cool!!!

That's a beautiful tattoo!

Very nice

Thanks everyone. My husband did it for me about a year ago. I got the design for the website this thread is about. It was sort of the day I accepted that I have this. I wanted to symbolize this, and it was to remind me of a fresh start to take this in a more positive way. Before this I was totally in denial and thought only negative thing about being a multiple. But now my outlook is better. Acceptance felt amazing. And the tattoo was very painless.

Perfect words! Yay!

It's all about acceptance for me too! And I too was a disaster before I accepted it. Not that I am not still one, but at least now I have a direction and know there is more to me than I thought.

I'm happy for you! I recently have been getting a large forearm (elbow to wrist) tattoo to cover up old self-harm scars. Not to forget about what I had gone through, but to feel reborn and accept that my past struggles are going to forever be a part of who I am. I want to see my struggles for their beauty and not for their pain. Acceptance is amazing . Your husband did a good job!

That's great to hear. My husband has covered some of his scars but it would take a lot of ink to cover all of his. But I'm proud to know its been over a year since he has harmed himself. He is a very good tattoo artist. I hope to be as good as him one day.

That's very inspiring ! I'm happy it's been so long for him, and that he has come to terms with the scars enough to have art done over them. He's a lucky guy to have your support! I have somewhat of a large amount to cover up, so even the full forearm sleeve would be just reducing what scars are seen. That's all I want to cover, though, because I'd rather myself and the world see something nice instead of that every time I'm out.

I have a lot of work as well all having to do with something meaningful. I have a My Little Pony tattooed on my leg, a unique one I've drawn for little Rose. It has devil wings and barbed wire around it's leg. Symbolizes how she was locked away by the demons of our past.
I also have a rainy scene and a sunny day scene on my feet, artwork inspired by childhood drawings.
I have a bloody heart with a wound and a bandaid covering it, with blood splashing all around, it symbolizes the pain my heart went through when Kami came around (shes no longer active. I miss her.)
I have devil wings that fade to angel wings on my back (full back piece) This is my stuggle with the bad trama's vs. the good things in my life.
Each one help me move forward in life.
