The red says love the black says hate, it was a painting i'd seen a few years ago and loved. I thought it was a perfect melding of 2 contradictory and complimentary emotions, got it over the scars of where i used to cut when i was younger, dumber, and sadder so that i would never cut again :) and could remind myself that even tho i sometimes hate myself, theres some love in there too lol
I also love tats with meaning - this is simple in design yet effective and powerful. I'm very glad you stopped cutting yourself before something fatal happened. I'll be interested what further body ink you'll get. 10/10
