Tattoo Cover-Ups

For many survivors, tattoos, scars, or burns were inflicted as forms of branding or control. 

These visible reminders can carry deep emotional weight and impact self-confidence and healing. 

Tattoo cover-ups and removals allow survivors to reclaim their bodies—turning what was once a mark of exploitation into a symbol of freedom, identity, and renewal.

💫 Our Partner: Atlanta Redemption Ink (ARI)

Atlanta Redemption Ink (ARI) is a survivor-founded and survivor-led organization created by Jessica Lamb.

ARI transforms painful reminders of the past into symbols of hope through artistry and trauma-informed care. 

Their nationwide network of artists provides tattoo cover-ups and removals for survivors of trafficking, exploitation, self-harm, addiction, and other forms of trauma. 

Together, Survivor Source and ARI are working to help survivors reclaim their bodies and restore confidence through creative healing, dignity, and empowerment.
