I wanted to poll others because I find that seeing self-injury photographs make me have the urge to do it to myself. I haven't cut in a long time, but used to be pretty bad about it. I have found that I should avoid looking at the images.

Yes, images always used to make me want to start doing it again. Any kind of wound in general, whether it be accidental or on purpose did. I learned quickly not to watch things like the TV show Scarred on MTV and to stay away from photos online. It's probably best for most people who are trying to stop to stay away from that stuff. It's like putting a bottle of alcohol in front of a recovering alcoholic and seeing how they react.
