Tattoos have a very ancient history. There are different reasons for getting tattoos, most of which don't revolve around self harm. Sometimes, even fir financial gain. However, some tattooing does very much look like self harm.
You’re so right! For instance, tattoos are very important in my Polynesian culture and have deep significance in how they’re done…interesting history that I think more people should know about. Not everyone that gets tattoos uses them for SH but I wanted to explore my personal reasons for getting them, as well as discuss the topic together when it airs. I know this subject matter isn’t of interest to everyone, but if you tune it I hope you enjoy it 🥰
This is the first time I’ve considered tattoos as self harm. Very interesting and insightful. I make humorous zines with my own art work almost covered up by something funny. A psychiatrist would have a field day 😂
This is fascinating! Sure, I can see your point about getting a tat just for the sake of it. Like the flash tats. My Goddaughter has done that; but I never thought of it as self-harm. Thanks! And when ppl ask you the significance of yours? And you thought everyone knew? Wow! That is deep !
UA-cam keeps recommending this video to me but the topic is a highly distressing trigger for me. I think I'm just gonna hide the vid for now but I hope it doesn't mean that UA-cam will stop recommending your vids to me because I usually really really enjoy them and find them inspiring. Unfortunately with my ADHD I am highly distractable / forget though so the algorithm helps to keep me coming back. I'll catch you in the next one hopefully. Much love. (P.S You've inspired me to make my first zine and it's on mental health. Thank you. :D )
I'm sorry about that! I mention in the description that this content can be triggering and should be avoided if it distresses anyone, but now realize the title and thumbnail can still do that. Hopefully the algorithm will bring you back to my channel after the video airs! I know this video is not for everyone but once the video is posted it shouldn't suggest it to you in the future as long as you don't click on it. Thanks for the support & I hope you continue to make zines! A zine on mental health is a great way to explore yourself and hope it was a fun experience for you to create it
I loved this type of video! It's amazing as a creator to sit and listen to the creative process behind a piece of work, and especially one so personal and raw. Thank you for sharing this with us Bre
I’m so happy to hear about your story…the fact that you can heal + grow from that is very admirable! Sometimes it hard for people to forgive themselves but it sounds like you reflect on that and learned to accept it. Proud of you!! ❤️
I hope you don’t mind me asking, do you look at your self harm tattoos and remember what you were going through? Is it hard? I don’t have any tattoos but rest assured I have my own self destructive habits.
A few of them I definitely remember what triggered me to get the tattoo, but a lot of them I don’t even remember 😞 It used to make me ashamed of my tattoos but now I’m starting to embrace them like a museum of all I’ve grown from. I try to look on the bright side or I could potentially slip into a depressive state about it. I hope you find healing from things you’ve gone through - sending you love!! You’re not alone ❤️🩹
I liked the reading portion. Shout out to you for vulnerability through art
☺️🙏🏽 appreciate you

Such a good vid & I’m so glad you’re in recovery. I have 1 more tattoo that I want to get that I’ve been wanting since 2013 😂 also punk4eva 🤘

I’m so curious what kinda tat that is! It seems like something worth waiting for though, so I’m stoked for you when you finally get it
