Recovery Tattoo

I know its a long way until i stop cutting or self harming myself, but i want to stop by my high school graduation because its a new beginning. i am also going to get inked for the first time after graduation. i have commented about it to my mom, but shes not too happy about it because she doesnt understand my reason. im getting two actually; a star on the inside of my ankle and a quote tattoo on my forearm to cover some of the scars. i cant wait personally but i dont want others to begin thinking negative things about the reason i am getting them.
