Reflecting on past choices as I find peace in Islam, seeking support on moving forward

Assalamu alaikum everyone. I come from a non-Muslim background and a while back, I got some tattoos when I didn’t follow any faith. But alhamdulillah, lately I’ve been feeling drawn to Islam and I’m really considering reverting. Honestly, I know Allah forgives all past sins when we embrace Islam, but I’m struggling to forgive myself for things like the tattoos-it feels like a reminder of my ignorance before. If anyone has been through something similar or has advice on accepting this and moving forward in faith, I’d really appreciate your kindness. JazakAllah khair.

I know that feeling. My past was rough too, but when you revert it's like a clean slate. Be kind to yourself-that ignorance is what brought you here.

Welcome to the deen, brother. Don't let those tattoos hold you back. Allah's mercy is greater than any ink.
