Apparently Tattoos of Semicolons are a thing. Here's what they mean

You may or may not have seen these drawings and tattoos of semicolons while browsing one of your social media feeds.
But these tattoos and drawings aren’t celebrating a punctuation mark; they actually have a deeper symbolism.
quote:
According to the Huffington Post, in 2013, Bluel tragically lost her father to suicide. She wanted to honor her father as well as raise awareness for mental health issues.
So she founded a non-profit organization named Project Semicolon. The goal of the project is to restore hope and confidence in people who are troubled by addiction, depression, self-harm, and suicide.
The non-profit encourages these people to draw or tattoo a semicolon on their wrist.
quote:
The symbolism of the semicolon is explained on Project Semicolon’s website,
“A semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life.”
By encouraging people to share their marks and stories, Project Semicolon seeks to instill hope and open up a dialogue about mental health.

Maybe they sometimes take it up the colon...

Scruffy guesses Project Colon wouldn't have done as well.

Seems harmless enough. And if the tattooey regrets it later they can just add a ")" and make it a wink smiley face.
Or if the person does take their own life later then they can just add a "(" I suppose.

I bet those people absolutely love when people ask them what that tattoo is so they can spout out how great they are for raising such "awareness"

Considering men make up the overwhelming majority of suicide victims in this country, I'll take anything that brings attention to mental health. "Man up" isn't helping anyone.

uhhh. The fact that I'm alive renders getting a semi colon tattoo pointless.
Posted on 7/6/15 at 2:27 pm to Green Chili Tiger
Anything for attention.

Yeah, I doubt that is going to happen. But those people sure will pat themselves on the back and feel good!

Whew. At least they stayed away from commas. Maybe I should get out ahead of this, so that no one takes my birthmark the wrong way.

It looks like a giant sperm swimming to an egg of equal size.

just means there will be a slight pause during handjobs; because switching hands is essential.

I had no idea that this was even a thing until this morning when I saw that article.
I realize it's OT to rag on this kid and hate on this, but I actually think the message is pretty cool.

So dumb
Posted on 7/6/15 at 2:43 pm to Green Chili Tiger
Whatever happened to wearing one of those rubber bracelets to raise awareness? A tattoo seems very permanent and dumb.

These people need a hobby or maybe just need to grow the f... up.
