Ink Your Story

Hope;ink serves as a meaningful extension of the broader worldwide initiative, providing a local platform for individuals to “ink” their story, unite in solidarity, and express themselves through the semicolon symbol. For a minimum donation of $60, attendees can choose from a selection of impactful semicolon tattoos. Donation options are available for those unable to attend or who would like to make this experience possible for another individual. All proceeds from this event will benefit Jefferson Center’s programs and services.

A tattoo often symbolizes a decision to honor loss, celebrate triumphs, or commemorate life experiences. At Jefferson Center, we’re dedicated to helping individuals share, heal, and possibly rewrite their stories through our mission and services. Attendees will have opportunities to engage by sharing their stories, get access to mental health resources if they need them, honoring lost loved ones, or celebrating their resilience. Several tattoo shops across the Denver metro area are participating in this event, and there will be mental health resources and education opportunities available at every location.

Choose from one of several studios across the Denver area:

• Dead Drift Tattoo, Lakewood
• Deeds of the Flesh, Thornton
• Dreambent Studios Tattoo, Thornton
• Love Always Destroys Hate, Aurora
• Mattoo, Lakewood
• R3hab Ink Tattoo, Denver
• Ritual Tattoo Gallery, Denver
