Hope;Ink Semicolon Tattoo Event
Ink Your Story
A semicolon tattoo symbolizes hope, resilience, and continuation in the face of mental health challenges, particularly suicide, depression, and self-harm. It represents a choice to live and keep going, similar to the grammatical semicolon that marks a pause in a sentence rather than an end. This tattoo serves as a powerful reminder of one’s inner strength and an enduring bond with a supportive community that understands and shares this journey.
This year, we continued that reminder of strength and resilience. Here is Hope;ink by the numbers:
- 7 tattoo shops
- 40 volunteers
- 450+ tattoos
- $40,000+ raised
