The Temple Tattoo Studio in Broughty Ferry participated in the Semicolon project by offering walk-in tattoos on Friday and Saturday.
The Semicolon project is described as a symbol of hope and solidarity for those who have struggled with mental health challenges, self-harm, addiction, and suicide.
This popular event attracted a steady stream of visitors, all eager to get involved.
A variety of pre-designed tattoo options were available for those wishing to express their support for mental health awareness.
Paulina, Manager of The Temple Tattoo Studio said: “We’re proud to be participating in the Semicolon Project again this year. It’s a cause that’s really important to our team and the wider community.
“We’re hosting two dedicated walk-in days offering semicolon tattoos, with all proceeds being donated to SAMH.
“We’re honoured to be part of the a movement that provides individuals with mental health support, strengthens the community and fights to prevent suicide.”
All proceeds will be donated to SAMH, Scotland’s leading mental health charity.
