It’s like a pact of love! But more sinister.. *music stops* This is an unhealthy way to showing love, since it harms your body, doing it willingly and not out of sadness/depression is a bit better (THOUGH IM NOT SAYING ITS GOOD, I’m just saying it’s better since your also not down in the gutters in terms of mental health) Some lovers can do this and it’s their choice, but a more healthy and safer alternative could be things such as getting each other matching bracelets or necklaces!

I wouldn’t recommend and want people to do this though since it harms them and is painful (duh!) but as I said, it’s their choice to pick a way to express their affection for a partner

I mean you can’t really butt in and third wheel a relationship to boss them around I’m not promoting self harm, just saying that it’s their choice on carving out initials (please don’t do this!)

wanting people to show that they are crazily in love with you and yada yada is normal and not something to mask/be ashamed about, if you do plan on doing this just make sure the other participant shares the same amount of agreement to this and isn’t hesitant/anxious about this activity, I mean you wouldn’t want to force someone to hurt themselves for you.. that’s a WHOLE different topic Asking for a loved one to do this is okay(?? I’m walking on thin ice) but as I just mentioned, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not make any indications that you want them to do it as it May cause them to be pressured and do it against their will, just ask as a simple what if type of scenario Once again PLEASE DO NOT FORCE ANYONE TO DO THIS and PLEASE do not take these out of context seriously

EXACTLY THAT, I DIDNT MEAN IT AS A “hey wanna cut my name into your forearm” or smt I MEANT LIKE “are you open to doing that?” as like a what if question I KNOW IT STILL SOUDNS BAD BUT THATS THE LEAST DAMAGING WAY TO PUT IT! Don’t be like “hey if you love me cut my name into your arm” that’s just evil

DONT SH OR GET SOMEONE TO SH NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION IS! I MEANT TO PHRASE MY SENTENCES IN A WAY THATS LIKE DONT DO IT BUT YOU CANT REALLY STOP COUPLES FROM DOING THIS FOR EACH OTHER NOT DONT DO IT BUT IF YOU WANT TO THATS FINE
