“#erased” Tattoos

Getting Erased by Emily Anderson (via IG-likecharity) #MUA #MakeupArtist #bodypaint #creepy #halloween #EmilyAnderson #erased #eraser #pencil

My wrist tattoos were my very first ones. When I was 11, I was diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety. I dealt with self harm, and suicidal thoughts for years. When I turned 18, I wanted a constant reminder for myself that could never be erased. I wanted to turn what once was a source of pain to something beautiful, and that’s what I did.

"I was a dandelion puff...Some saw the beauty in me and stooped quietly to admire my innocence. Others saw the potential of what I could do for them, so they uprooted me, seeking to shape me around their needs. They blew at my head, scattering my hair from the roots, changing me to suit them. Yet still others saw me as something that was unworthy and needed to be erased." #1sttat
