Getting ink felt right, like it would help her put her life in order, to move forwards. It was her body, despite the things that'd been done to it, and she wanted to claim it, to own it, to prove that to herself.

She wanted to find an image that represented those things she was feeling, to etch it on her skin as tangible proof of her decision to change.
