 Hey what's up you guys welcome back to my channel, if you're new here hi hello I'm Lidia and today I thought I'd share with you why I got my scars covered up so why I covered my self-harm scars with tattooers funny not only doesnt know I have three tattooers, all of which go over scars this is the main one and these are the other two now I've got tattoos to cover my scars because they really affected me I would look at them and I'd be like I should have done it better I didn't kill myself because the scar on my left arm was from a suicide attempt genuinely the reason I got it covered up is because I got so sick of people asking questions like people would look at them and say how did you do that what's that can I touch it no you may not touch my arm I did a video on that a lot a while ago, it was last year or the year before but for me getting tattoos was always going to be the option I went for I haven't self-harned in a year now this is where I'm up to self-harm recovery but it's been a year and last year I started getting tattoos the first one I got there was there that covers the scar that goes across there I don't know if you can see it on the camera but there's a scar there getting tattoos over scars she really hurt with my big piece this one it took four hours and it was painful it was really painful getting that done I had to pause four times because the pain which wasn't fun but I did it then the other ones on this arm they wasn't as painful because they covered part of scars not the whole scar whereas the feather tattoo that I have colours the whole scar under the scar that was around it would I recommend getting tattoos over scars if you're like me and you're comfortable with them then you're chosen totally but if you don't want the reminder getting tattoos is a great way of covering it all and the great thing about this day and age is you can't be discriminated against if you get tattooers in jobs jobs can't discriminate you based on tattooers like I am strongly considering joining the police force where I finish uni that's my kind of I want to do at the minute I think it'd be pretty cool to join a service that has literally saved my life but I wouldn't have to watch videos about I covered up the scars because I felt I had needed to I didn't mind them personally I wasn't that first but then people started asking questions and touching me and and it just got really weird so I got the scars covered I got to a really nice tattoo parlor and they gave me a discount on my big one because I'd already had two tattoos with them so that's another good sign of going to the same tattoo parlor I want to get more tattoos not to cover scars just because I like them I want to get birds on my collar bone I want to lose weight first that's another thing I'm doing I'm losing weight so that's bonus that's all I've got for this video if you have any questions about tattoos or a pain or anything to do with tattoos let me know in the comments down below and I'll answer you either with a Q&A video or I'll just comment back to you and if you're new of course subscribe turn notifications on and yeah, peace
