Corrective tattooing with psychological support. The project is dedicated to people with visible skin imperfections due to illnesses or accidents that have negatively impacted their quality of life and mental wellbeing.
Health and wellbeing
Understood as a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing and not simply the absence of disease.
Personal assistance
A journey aimed at meeting individual needs, providing a service that would otherwise be difficult to access.
Awareness
Creation of a safe space through which the individual can return to being part of an inclusive and welcoming society.
A support network
Creating a community among individuals and local organizations that accompanies the person on their journey, promoting a scalable and replicable project in different contexts.
How does it work?
Through a series of sessions, the goal is to help overcome trauma. This will be done through dermopigmentation or medical tattooing: a technique that consists of introducing suitable non-toxic and bioabsorbable pigments analyzed to improve one's aesthetic condition in the layer beneath the dermis. Alternatively, it is possible to arrange with an artist for a tattoo to camouflage the imperfection by incorporating it into a work of art. Regardless of the specific type of service provided, the mind-body connection is crucial: the project's objective is to help overcome trauma that has had evident aesthetic but also psychological repercussions. For this reason, the journey also intends to provide psychological support sessions free of charge.
