Dear Prudence posted:She killed herself. The woman who campaigned the semi-colon trend to fight suicide and mental health stigma killed herself. This is tragic, but entirely unsurprising. Someone who devotes themselves to combatting mental health stigma likely has mental health issues themselves. That she died of depression or similar isn't as unusual as you might like to believe.

LanceHunter posted:I honestly wonder if the semicolon tattoo was counter-productive. Like, I get that it's supposed to show that you made it past the (theoretical) worst moment in your life and continued, but really you'd just getting a permanent reminder on your skin about that worst moment. Romanticizing your own tragedy isn't usually an effective method of actually coping with it. Plus, there's the whole thing with building your identity out of your problems... It's a pretty common theme unfortunately, there was an artist on some tattoo shop reality show who got a noose done around the base of his neck because he tried to kill himself that way. I mean I understand it's supposed to be this empowering thing or whatever but I would think the memory alone would be enough. But then again most people will use any dumb rear end willy nilly poo poo reason to get a tattoo. So why not a suicide attempt reminder tattoo?

What year are you living in that tattoos are a serious detriment? Like yeah, a tattoo on your face when applying to a government job wont do you any favors but an easily concealed by office attire isn't a game changer.

With any kind of public facing customer service or retail role, there's still a quite a lot of stigma, and that's without getting into tattoos with subject matter might be a bit more controversial.

Some places, like San diego. It abnormal for someone to NOT have a tattoo. Face tattoos and crap are still a retail detriment. And who knows about the high end banker scene. But arms and even high chest neck are the norm for all service industry and everybody.

It's really depending on where you work and what company. Of course Bloomingdales or whatever high-end store, they won't ever allow piercings/tattoos. But if you work in a big city most places don't give a gently caress unless you are like that cat lady or have 20 rings in your lips. Suburbs and, most likel,y small towns care. The Target in my moms suburb only hires standard looking people, whereas the Targets in the city have people with tons of piercings and colored hair (pink, green, etc). When I used to work at qy a place where corporate would sometimes come to inspect us, I'd just put a bandaid over my piercings and say I had acne. I remember back in even 2004 a Jimmy Johns in the city had a pink haired, tattooed girl with tons of lip piercings working there. Summary: if you have body mods work in a big city.

But of course if you have a visible dick or vagina tattoo no one will hire you, and rightfully so.

The Snoo posted:I've considered a tongue-in-cheek dotted line with scissors tattoo on my wrist since my arms are noticeably covered in old self harm scars Don't do that. I have a ton of scars, some of which are horrifically bad. I got a good artist who worked the tattoo shapes into the lines of the scars, and no one has ever noticed the scars. He had worked on another dude who had the same issue a few months before me, too.

I'm glad you were able to have yours dealt with in a cool way. I would love to get my scars and bad self-poked tattoos dealt with, but my entire forearms, elbow to wrist, are scarred and short of like, solid black sleeves, I doubt they can be covered

That's assuming they want it hidden though. I'd avoid scissors if only because it's pretty overdone. Do a cat, or a samurai, or an IKEA man looking confused.

Even if it's a pitch black blob a good artist can work with it. Make it into a planet or galaxy or something. Unless you're that moron who had glasses tattooed on his face you're probably fine. For content, 2 coverups: Original says "you are my life" BUT this is either another Slavic language (Ukrainian? Bulgarian? Etc) or a horribly misspelled Russian tattoo, because in Russian it's supposed to be ты моё жизнь, not ты мая жизнь, or what it actually looks like, ты мая ежизно with very bad handwriting. In English it's like "you aer my ehlife." Honestly I think it's the latter considering how many people get the worst spelling in their tattoos in English.  The right one is literally what the tattoo I was removing looked like. Ughhhjj

The Snoo posted:I've considered a tongue-in-cheek dotted line with scissors tattoo on my wrist since my arms are noticeably covered in old self harm scars Yeah some people just find it funny to be ironic about such things. It makes them feel better. Really it's only a problem when the thing you're joking about is not in the past. I was tempted to to put up a print of Echo and Narcissus in my house when I was in a relationship with a narcissist. Obviously, I should have just left instead of putting up a painting that basically says "MY RELATIONSHIP IS TERRIBLE!!" and luckily I did before I actually went through with ordering it. Which makes this colon lady a bit of a mixed case, since obviously her mental health concerns were not in the past.

Subjunctive posted:Almost nobody's depression is fully in the past. I think my problem is that the semicolon tattoo is meant to be a reminder of "your lowest moment", because a semicolon ends a sentence without ending everything. Likewise, you could have ended your life without doing so. The problem is what happens when you're still having those "lowest moments" after getting tattooed. Hopefully you'd take it as a positive sign, that you were this bad before and can continue on without doing something regrettable. At worst, you may take the reminder of your suicidal past as a sign that you're never truly getting better than your lowest point and it's always a temporary improvement.

chitoryu12 posted:I think my problem is that the semicolon tattoo is meant to be a reminder of "your lowest moment" It's not a reminder of the attempt, it's a reminder that you survived it. That's not your lowest point, but rather the start of improvement. It's like getting a tattoo of the date of your divorce. There is no point at which someone with serious depression can say "whew, glad that's behind me". It's always going to get worse and better. The boat leaks, you just get better at bailing and you get used to wearing wet shoes. Nobody forgets a suicide attempt. Zamboni_Rodeo posted:I wasn't so lucky. Right there with you.
