I'm a psychotherapist and believing that tattoos are a visible expression of self-harm is an old school of thought. More recently therapists have seen that tattoos often play an important role in the healing process for individuals who have experienced mental health struggles. Body art allows people to reclaim control over their bodies and mark their progress toward healing, especially in a world in which people often feel powerless. It may make people feel like they have the power of expression of mental health rather than mental illness which actually boosts self-esteem and promotes empowerment.
