I was a hundred percent using tattooing as self-harm. And so, like every single tattoo that I got, I like, looked in the mirror and I'm like I'm, was that close, that much closer to being like.
Imagine using tattoos and piercings as a way to cope with the whirlwind of emotions that come with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). In this episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline', hosts Sara Amundson and Laurie Edmundson dive deep into this intriguing intersection with their guests, Lucia and Talon. Lucia, who lives with BPD, and Talon, a former professional piercer, bring their unique perspectives to the table, making for a conversation that's as raw as it is enlightening.
They discuss how body modifications can serve as both a form of self-expression and a method of emotional regulation. It's not just about the ink or the metal; it's about reclaiming control over their bodies and identities in a world that often misunderstands them. The episode also touches on the stigma surrounding body modifications, especially for those presenting as female.
Despite the heavy topics, there's a thread of humor throughout, reminding listeners that even in the darkest times, there's room for laughter. Whether you're curious about the link between body modifications and mental health or seeking to understand BPD better, this episode offers a heartfelt glimpse into the lives of those navigating these challenges.
