Helping Survivors of Terrorism, First Responders and Families of the Deceased Reclaim Their Bodies and Continue to Heal Physically and Emotionally 

Healing Ink began in 2016 with artists including Ryan Ashley Malarky, Megan Massacre, Luke Wessman, Joe Capabianco, Steve Soto and Jim Sylvia, and tattooed 40 survivors of terrorism. Since then, tattooing as a form of healing has become the subject of intense medical, scientific and academic study as well as utilizing the power of tattoo artists to make a stand in our world. This is for us and our culture.

There are many forms of healing, each one working for different communities and people. We have found that for many, tattooing is an untapped and powerful resource. The ways in which people find relief in tattooing is varied and individualistic. Manifesting emotional trauma in physical pain, commemorating the day, creating an opportunity for peers to ask questions, beauty or wanting to cover a scar and erase a memory, all provide a sense of agency and independence. We cannot control what happened on that day. We can control how we respond.
