Project Semicolon - keep your story going

This week, Tapestry goes to a tattoo parlour. We're not there to get our own body art (yet). We're talking to people about a powerful mental-health movement: Project Semicolon.

This week, Tapestry goes to a tattoo parlour. We're not there to get our own body art (yet). We're talking to people about a powerful mental-health movement.

Project Semicolon began in Wisconsin in 2013. It was the creation of blogger Amy Bleuel. Now, people around the world are getting semi-colon tattoos as a way of saying "keep going - you're not alone in your fight against depression or any other mental-health challenge."

Tapestry's Jeff Goodes headed to a tattoo parlour in Scarborough to get the inside scoop on the semicolon tattoo. Jo-ann Caldwell was there to get inked. Her friend Courtney Taylor was there for moral support.  Courtney is a mental health advocate with a semicolon tattoo of her own.
