I think so long as the banage or whatever is "clean" then it's fine. By clean, I mean no blood or whatever. I can see how it could be triggering to one who is particularly sensitive but at the end of the day I think we do enough (too much sometimes) to look after the members of this site and I don't see why, on a self harm forum, the occational bandage can't be shown so long as it isn't the main focus of the photograph.
I have no problem with scars either. Self harm is such a taboo anyway and the idea what they would unacceptable here is just disgusting. I'm really, really glad that we can show them in photo's (again, so long as they aren't the main focus).
I'm wondering about the thread labelling system. If bandages are going to be an issue, would the *scars showing* cover it? Or would we need a seperate *bandages showing* label? Personally, I think that would be complete over kill and totally unneeded; was just wondering on what others thought. Maybe the *scars showing* label could cover all scars, bandages, arm warmers or whatever related to self harm. No confusion that way.
