“This is not what it is only baby scars, I need your love like a boy needs his mothers side”  Second and Sebring by Of Mice and Men

A lot of people have been asking me what this means to me, or why I got this tattoo.

I’m influenced by a lot of music, but hey, who isn’t? These lyrics stuck out the most. Not because my mother has passed away, but because I could never even imagine what it would be like. She has always been here for me by the end of the day. Whether it was self harm (as you can see), new medication, hospitalization, countless therapist and doctors, not eating, not sleeping and being both parents because I never had my real father around. I put it over a set of self harm scars, the ones that stuck out the most so I could look at the tattoo and see a wonderful song, instead of a bad time. So I could say ‘This shit isn’t deep, its nothing, it truly is only baby scars’ I hope whoever sees this can maybe think the same thing when they are in a rut. I’m not here for any ones attention, just here to help anyone I can.
