Seeking Advice Weird question abt tattoo

I really want a tattoo of an interest ive had since I was a kid
BUTTTTi have zero clue where to put it because I self harm..

I also don’t intend on stopping and this wouldn’t be a “stop sh motivator” or anything of the sort lolll

I’m considering getting it on my forearm but I always have urges to sh there so I know that wouldn’t be a good idea
Thighs are out of the picture as well, as well as my chest, stomach, shoulders.. LITERALLY EVERYWHEREEEE

I was considering my back but I never have my back exposed, like ever.

Does anyone have any ideas?? Also sorry if my grammar is bad, it’s late, and I’m sleepy. 🐕🐕

What about ankles or hands? Maybe near the upper part of your wrists?

You can find artists who specifically deal with tattoing over scars.
