The Story Continues: Semicolon Tattoo Event
Tattoos with meaning. A reminder that your story isn’t over.
Join The Silver Key Tattoo and Foundation 2 Crisis Services for The Story Continues, a special semicolon tattoo event supporting suicide prevention, mental health awareness, hope, and healing.
The semicolon represents a moment when a story could have ended—but continued instead. Whether your tattoo honors your own journey, celebrates someone you love, or reminds you to keep going, we invite you to be part of this meaningful event.

Walk-In Information
This is a walk-in-only event. Tattoos will be completed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Choose Your Design
Select from a special collection of semicolon-inspired flash designs created for the event. Designs include symbols of hope, strength, kindness, resilience, healing, and new beginnings.
Designs will be tattooed as shown.
The flash sheet is printed on a 13 × 19 inch page. Feel free to stop by the studio to see the actual tattoo sizes in person. Some designs may be able to go a little smaller upon request, and you’re welcome to choose an ink color other than black.

Eat a full meal, drink plenty of water, and avoid alcohol before getting tattooed. Wear clothing that allows your artist to easily reach the desired placement.
Don’t forget your valid photo ID.
