$20 SEMICOLON TATTOOS

Start: Sept. 10, 2016, 5:45 p.m.

End: Sept. 10, 2016, 11 p.m.

Last year we had such a great turn out and positive impact on the community for our semi colon tattoo event, pretty much all the local tattooists have decided to combine forces this year and make an artistic statement to erase the stigma of mental illness, depression, substance abuse and suicide. So far we have Forever Flawless, Your Moms Favorite Tattoo Parlor & The Beard and Lady on board for this event. *But all tattooists & shops are welcome to participate also.

These semi colon tattoos symbolize that you are not alone in your struggle or as a support to a friend or family member that struggles with these issues.

Where does the $20 go? $10 goes to the artist/shop to cover supplies, snacks etc and $10 goes to the charity of the shop / artists choice.

Forever Flawless, The Beard & Lady & Your Moms Favorite Tattoo parlor have all decided to support the Darby Pledge who are local activists you can find out more about them here :

"The Darby Pledge was created to bring awareness to suicide prevention and stigma reduction. A pledge to mental health providers & the public to make a personal commitment to go above/beyond to ensure the safety of their clients and each other. NEVER turn someone away when they are asking for help. All money The Darby Pledge raises goes to The Food Group to support the "backpack program" that feeds over 425 kids eack week in our community. These kids are our future!!"
