  • Our specialized training helps tattoo artists understand the complexities of human trafficking and the role tattoos play in a survivor’s journey. We emphasize the importance of artist safety—both physically and mentally—when assisting survivors by covering or removing trafficking-related tattoos. By learning to recognize the unique challenges involved, artists can provide trauma-informed care while safeguarding their own well-being. Together, we can ensure that the process of reclaiming identity through tattoo cover-ups is both safe and empowering for everyone involved.

  • Our course is designed for professionals who want to support survivors of human trafficking through tattoo removal, offering a trauma-informed approach for both the technician and the client. This training goes beyond just removing visible tattoos, such as those on the face, hands, and neck—often called "job stoppers." Instead, we emphasize that every tattoo can carry a deeper meaning, especially for survivors. By learning to view tattoos through the lens of someone who has experienced trauma, participants will gain the insight needed to approach tattoo removal with empathy and understanding, ensuring that the process becomes part of the survivor’s healing journey.
