During uncertain times, one really needs to find their peace with everything that is going on. This, in turn, usually involves a lot of internal work, including self-care, healing, and meditation. The usual recourse catering to these needs would be at-home spa treatments, elaborate exercises, or, if you dare, physical massages. But did you know you can also achieve healing through tattoo art?

“Tattoos can represent so many things. It can be spiritual, it can be milestones in your life you want to remember, it’s a window to your soul,” says Patty Tiu-Thompson of Arte Tattoo. “For us, tattoos help shape a person into a new version of themselves. We are always changing, but sometimes society feeds us a certain way of idealism that makes it hard for us to break out of a box that we have been placed in. We at Arte Tattoo want to keep spreading our message of kindness, healing, and meditation through tattooing.”
