A fortnight ago as part of World Semicolon Day (April 17) Project Semicolon announced via their Facebook page that “In the coming weeks, Project Semicolon will complete its restructuring and launch with much needed resources and programs to help our community members. At that time we will be looking for help with Social Networking, Website Upkeep, Facebook Message Support, Event Volunteers, Content Creators, Advisory Board Members, and other general volunteers.”

Types of Semicolon Tattoos

The semicolon tattoo trend has proven a superb identifier for sufferers and supporters. It’s a tattoo inspiration and deep-meaning rallying point capable of breaking down the stigma attached to self-harm, suicidal ideation, or even a suicide attempt.

An experienced tattoo artist is often tremendously skilled at identifying the motivation behind people’s body art, then using them in aid of fully exploring the ink they create for each subject. With such intensely personal, painful, and even devastating memories attached to each semicolon tattoo meaning, your tattoo artist carries a burden to do your anguish justice.

The execution of artistic style – geometry, sharp or flowing linework, flowering vines, and blooms, or simple objects – within these tattoos serve as armor reinforcement for the painful memories and battles fought by the subject to put their fight permanently onto flesh.

The majority of semicolon tattoos are simple ink expressions relying on effective use of black ink etching to convey the message required. They often utilize the clarity of message in combination with a supporting idea of growth, strength, or resilience as their reminder to keep fighting.
