I'm an art student in Philly who is kind of obsessed with dying my hair. I enjoy learning about body modification and drawing naked people. Ah, and my name is Sarah.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Okay how about a big fuck you. I agree there should be a trigger warning, but don’t you fucking shame her for her scars. The submitter is brave as fuck and if she wants to have pictures with her scars in them, who the hell are you to judge? If a person who has scars shows them it is none of your business. It is her body. Her scars. As for the why she submitted this, possibly because she isn’t ashamed of them? Ever thought of the possibility that she is proud because it represents what she has overcome/is overcoming? Go fuck off.TW:self harmAustralian 18. I just love love this blog and all the gorgeous bunnies on here. Keep up the great work <3 xxoo
I have a major problem with this image being allowed to be posted because of how many fresh self harm scars are on her leg.
That could be really triggering for some people.
And in all honesty I personally feel that it’s irresponsible of the blog and the submitter, who is clearly in need of some help. Why would you even submit something like this with it all on show? Just, no.

There is nothing wrong with being fat or thin or something in between but there is something wrong with people who judge us on this.
“One of my favorite things to do with long-running manga I like (or used to read) is go look at the first pages of the story, then the later pages, and see how the artwork has changed/improved. It might sound weird, but it reminds me that these pros are still growing artists, like me.”
When I get into an artist, I like to read about them. I know some people think the only thing that should matter is the art, but I really like to find out about the person who makes it- where they studied (if they went to art school), what inspires them to draw, their supplies, etc. I seem to have no problem finding info with American or European artists, but when it comes to manga, I either find out very little about the artist or all the info I find is in Japanese, so I can’t read it. And when the series isn’t popular, I can’t find out anything about the person at all. So, while I may like the manga, the artist behind it feels very distant to me. They’re just this faceless figure somewhere on the other side of the globe that happens to draw a comic I like. As terrible as it sounds, they feel less human to me. And when an artist feels less human to me, I start seeing their skill as being this unreachable level of perfection. Logically, I know they practice and work their ass off to get good, but I can’t help that slight feeling of helplessness.
But then I go back through the chapters they drew and I see how their skills have improved. It reminds me that their style isn’t some Godlike impeccability. It’s organic- it shifts, changes, and grows- just like my art and everyone else. They’re just artists, great artists, but still artists, and they’re still experimenting and finding themselves within the artwork they make.
I did list the artist for each manga at the bottom of the confession, but in case anyone can’t see them or wants the titles of the series, here they are. From top to bottom:
*Alive: The Final Evolution - story by Tadachi Kawashima, art by Adachitoka (art group formed by 2 women)
*Katekyo Hitman Reborn - Akira Amano,
*Fullmetal Alchemist - Hiromu Arakawa
*D. Grayman - Katsura Hoshino

One does not simply ask that to someone who has been working for 12 hours straight.
Ran into an old friend, and I ask her what’s new, and she shows me this new tattoo of hers. I immediately thought of you, and asked to take a picture. She says this was done stick-and-poke while she was drunk. Makes me sad. She’s such a nice girl, and it sucks that this happened to her.
“She’s such a nice girl, and it sucks that this happened to her.”… what? It’s such a gorgeous tattoo. I think I love stick and pokes more than any tattoo, there’s something so lovely and real about getting something permanent on your skin in shakey handwriting and 3am, instead of in a font picked from a selection of 1000 on a computer screen at some white washed studio by people you have no connection with. Maybe I’m overly romanticising it but whatever. I like it, I really really do.
Untidy handwritten tattoos are so beautiful
