Got it last year! Just finished with the tattoo when the picture was taken.
Too many meanings behind why I got it.. Glad I did though!

Just for Everyone who keeps asking & saying..
Did it hurt? No, if it was any closer to my hand it would have!
"That will look ironic when you're dead." Yes I understand that, am I dead now though? NO. It symbolizes my life, what I've been through & why I am still alive TODAY.
"That's not what a good EKG looks like." Yes I know!! Kind of plays into the symbolism!
I think it's beautiful. No matter what anyone says. I hated myself when I cut, and I plan on (when i have the money) getting my first tattoo right over my scars. It will hopefully be symbolic of my realization that I'm loved, and a tribute to the TWLOHA movement. To all those still fighting, stay strong, and to those who have recovered and overcome. You are true fighters.
