wearing recovery on my sleeve.

I've wanted a tattoo probably since I was about 16-years-old. I've had a lot of different ideas come through and a lot of designs I've wanted and actually still want.

When I was in treatment circa 2007, I decided that once I could deem myself "fully recovered," I wanted to get this tattoo you see here to the right. That would be my official gift to myself.

I've come to realize some people don't understand why a person would want to permanently mark themselves for any reason, so I'd like to express why this was not only incredibly important to me, but something I truly felt I needed to do.
