"Self-harm in a lot of forms, is a lot more common than people think. I think with, you know, the cutting, it's a level of distress—it's a level of mental distress that is kind of taking a physical form." - Laura Casey, tattoo artist

Here’s a multiple session piece. Using time to let the greys heal, we’re making a point to be patient and push tonal value with layers. The skin can only take so much ink. But once it’s healed, you can add so much more. (We’ve three more sessions to go…)

"On the 4th day of having my tattoo, I got ready to take a shower and I looked in the mirror, then it hit me, I didn't see my scars and I didn't see all the imperfections, rippling, or lopsidedness I saw before the tattoos."

"There's kind of a deep emotional attachment that can happen when someone has a scar. And whether it's a reminder of that event or something that maybe gives them sort of a negative feeling and I think the tattoo process can help them move past that and to heal." - Shane Wallin
