Hope;Ink Semicolon Tattoo Event

Ink Your Story

We had an incredible time celebrating Hope;ink 2026 this weekend!

People from across Colorado came together in the Denver area to share powerful stories of strength, resilience, healing, and hope in support of suicide prevention. Each tattoo serves as a deeply personal and permanent reminder of those stories, honoring loved ones, journeys of recovery, and the importance of hope.

Over the weekend, we saw over 300 tattoos given and over $48,000 raised from both the event and our community sponsorships!

We are deeply grateful to our sponsors: Mental Health Colorado, Security Central, Seniors Resource Center, ServiceSource, DDRC, PNC Bank, Meow Wolf Denver, Howell Construction, and Centennial Peaks Hospital. Your support helped make this meaningful event possible.

Together, we are turning stories into symbols of hope and connection. Thank you to everyone who participated, shared their journey, and helped shine a light on suicide prevention. We can’t wait to see the Hope;ink community continue to grow in 2027.
