healing with ink

​Ruby specializes in doing scar cover ups and cover ups for people who are survivors of self harm, abuse and violence who want to heal that part of their life, leaving them with something beautiful and a reminder of their strength. Covering up scars from the past can be a part of the overall mental healing process and can give a sense of closure, validating perseverance. Mental health is just as important as physical health, the mind is a muscle that needs working out too and not just today, every day. 

Below is an example - from start to finish - one of the scar cover up projects that Ruby has worked on recently. For more examples of her scar cover up work, head over to her Portfolio.

SURVIVOR PROJECT

Out of the Darkness was created to raise mental health awareness and inspire body positivity year round. ​Once a month we will be raffling one free tattoo cover up/scar cover up to a survivor of self harm, abuse or violence.
​
All tips or money raised will be donated to lobbying against proposed regulations to ban tattooing over scar tissue, against censoring self harm and to a local mental health awareness foundation.
Join the newsletter to be entered into our monthly raffle as well as to receive the latest Survivor Project updates
