It takes guts to get any tattoo, but Bekah Miles’ tattoo is braver than most.
20-year-old Bekah decided to use her tattoo to make a pretty powerful message about her struggles with depression and open a conversation about mental illness.
We Suffer From Anxiety, But Why Do We Keep It A Secret?
The design, tattooed down her right thigh says, ‘I’m fine’ to everyone else, but reads ‘Save Me’ looking down from Bekah’s point of view.
“Why I got this tattoo; they are great conversation starters” says Bekah.
“This forces me to talk about my own struggle, and why the awareness of it is important.”
Depression is a subject that needs more open conversation in society
The tattoo has gained more attention than Bekah could have ever imagined, with 327,000 times, liked 403,000 times!
Depression is a subject that needs more open conversation in society and we applaud Bekah’s brave choice!
Hopefully it will both help Bekah talk about her own depression in a healthy way and inspire others to do the same!
