The point is that this tattoo is a call for solidarity for those who have been involved with suicide or mental health. The interesting thing about this ink is that as both a punctuation mark and a tattoo design in body art, it signifies that there is continuity.

As a tattoo design, it symbolizes the continuation of life even after experiencing mental problems and overcoming them or after severe trauma.

In 2013, Amy Bleuel started the Semicolon Project movement. The purpose of the movement is to inspire and motivate those who have decided to surrender to difficulties and resort to suicide, as well as those with mental problems, to fight for life.

We should note that Amy herself overcame mental illness that arose after her father committed suicide. We are sad to announce that Amy passed away in 2017. However, the immense and important work she undertook to support people with mental health problems continues to this day. Thanks to that movement, millions of people have returned to normal life.

The second interesting fact about the semicolon tattoo is that this tattoo, despite its small size and extremely simple depiction, appears in many different designs with many eye-catching forms and combinations. .
