Mental health awareness week: I spent thousands covering my body in tattoos during a bipolar mania episode – but I don’t regret it

In April 2016, I started covering myself in tattoos. I have bipolar disorder, and I was at the start of a manic episode – something which often happens to me around this time of year. Bipolar disorder is categorised by two episodes: mania, and depression. Each can last from weeks to months, and both can be just as debilitating.
