Self harm, Scars and Tattoos

I had an intrusive thought earlier, which I quickly changed into getting a new tattoo instead. Then I started thinking, is getting a tattoo really a good alternative to self harm. Its not really something you can do on impulse unless you have the money. And having to make an appointment and pick out a design gives you a chance to back out if you change your mind. Now, I really like tattoos, so I totally wouldn't mind getting a few more on impulse. I already have 6 more picked out.


As I was obsessively looking up tattoos, I found some that cover up scars, incorporate scars and just sit next to them. I never really thought of doing anything with my scars... they're just kinda there to me. Would you tattoo our scars to minimize or amplify their appearance?
