An unforseen reason I love my tattoo:

Part of the reason I got the deathly hallows tattooed on my wrist was to be a constant reminder not to “grow up” and become a Dursley; to allow myself to just let go and enjoy being myself.

I’ve had a couple pretty bad moments of anxiety since then, thinking “oh god what have i done this is on my body forever i’ll never be the same as i was i’ll always have this thing where other people don’t have a thing oh god it’s like i stapled a nose to my arm oh god what have i dooone?!” But those have really helped me to realize, I am not my body. For me to allow myself to not become a Dursley, I have to be ok with being different, and that it is our choices that make us who we are rather than what we look like.

Also, I get to show it off all the time. Also a plus.
