On Saturday, September 19th, we at Dreambent Studios celebrated our 10th annual Suicide Awareness Semicolon Tattoo Event, HOPE;ink.

This year, 20 unique semicolon designs brought people together to honor suicide awareness, prevention, and the lives impacted by suicide.

But HOPE;ink is about so much more than a tattoos. It's about connection. It’s about creating space for honest conversations, shared experiences, and a reminder to each other that there is always room for hope.

These are the voices of our neighbors, our friends, and our families. Real people sharing real experiences and reminding us of the strength, resilience and inspiration we find when we create community.

This is HOPE;ink. And these are their stories.

In this special episode, you’ll hear directly from members of our community as they share their personal experiences with suicide, loss, mental health, hope, and the lasting impact these experiences can have on our lives. Their testimonials are honest, powerful, insightful, and deeply human.

On Saturday September 19th Dreambent Studios hosts it's 10th Annual Suicide Awareness Semicolon Tattoo Event, continuing a decade long tradition of using art, community, and conversation to raise awareness and remind people that their story is not over.
