Butterfly Tattoo

I'm pretty aware of the butterfly project, and I really love it. It helps a lot. If you don't know what the butterfly project is, its something to help people who want to hurt themselves. Either that person or a friend, family member or SO can take a pen of any kind and draw a butterfly on the persons skin. For as long as the butterfly stays its alive, and if you cut/self harm before then you kill the butterfly, but if it fades the butterfly lives. Its kinda cute, and I've had a few butterflies and each of them have passed 'properly' and I think getting a tattoo of a butterfly on me might help me a lot with my urges of self harm. So, I've been thinking about is getting butterflies tattoo'd on me. 

I think two butterflies would be cute, and I know I want one to be purple because its one of my favorite colors.

The Tattoo I really want to get is mermaid scales. I think it's such a cute idea and I think something like that would be really cute to get. I'd like the tattoo on my thigh, one my legs and one of my feet. I want to do my first little bit once I started to take a Marine Biology course. I would love it to be a treat to myself. For following out something I want to do. I might leave it until the end when I pass.  

I'll post a few I think are super cute:

If I get one, I want one to be the same color as my future fin will be. I also would love to get them and add a bit of detail that might be neat, like a bit of sand here, and like a bit of sea weed there. :3 I'm not totally sure what I'm going to do yet, but the idea is in my head. :3
