Love the design, love the color, love the meaning! Plus it has the added bonus of reminding you where you've been and not to go there again. Good luck in your recovery!
Really nice design and totally cool how you used photoshop for size/placement. I think I would go up a lil w/ it so your upper back/shoulders don't look too empty. I'd also try to get it to flow more into your side/hip tat. Pls post when done!
