Im talking about the evil on my left arm from psychotic episodes. Its not extremely visible. Well now it is because of last week but still, its not all over but if u looked u could see it. It discourages me from wearing short sleeves and everyone looks down upon it. Nobody wants to talk with the guy with scars on ur arm like that. Or thats my experience at least. Its like an extremely taboo tattoo. I just want them gone so i don’t have to worry about repelling someone if they saw it

EDIT: there are some tattoo artists who d this in the US as well!

I’ve got some scars on my left arm too. I tried to get rid of them with scar gel, but it didn’t work. I did the cutting on a very hot day after I had been outside all day, and because of that the scars are just about impossible to remove. I’ve had them a long time. Where I live a number of people have self inflicted scars.

Hey, I have some nasty scars on my left arm too. I still wear t-shirts in the summer. I don’t care if people see them. It shouldn’t be a big deal to have some scars, this world is messed up and we all know it. Be proud of who you are and love yourself despite your flaws. Others will judge you, but that’s their business. If you just make sure that you don’t take any crap from them then their judgmentalness will only hurt themselves.

I have scars too, but most of them are on the inside, where I can hide them. They show when I’m stressed or upset, though. They are mine and I accept them as as part of the puzzle pieces that make up who I am and where I’ve been.
