Atlanta Redemption Ink (ARI)

Facial Tattoo RemovalService

Survivors can get facial tattoos removed or lightened. ARI works with licensed medical professionals and certified laser technicians. Aftercare support is included.

High School Diploma SupportProgram

ARI works through an education partnership to help high school dropouts pursue an evidence-based high school diploma path at any age.

Job Readiness & ReferralsService

ARI refers people with difficult backgrounds or criminal records to staffing partners and advocates that help with job opportunities.

Scar Revision & Healing ArtistryService

Survivors can choose medical scar treatment with a licensed dermatologist, or art by a trained tattoo artist that turns a scar into something meaningful. A trauma-informed consultation helps you decide which path fits.

Speaking & Media RequestsService

Groups and media outlets can ask ARI's founder or survivor advocates to speak at events or give interviews. Formats include keynotes, panels, team trainings, university and conference talks, and podcasts.

Trafficking Tattoo Cover-UpService

Survivors are matched with a vetted tattoo artist who does trauma-informed cover-ups of tattoos they did not choose. You and the artist plan the design together, with no pressure.

Training & EducationProgram

Survivor-led trainings teach police, medical and mental health staff, tattoo artists, and community groups how to spot tattoo signs of trafficking and respond with care. Options include one-hour sessions, advanced workshops, conference talks, and panels.

Trauma-informed supportService

ARI offers support and resources so survivors can heal at their own pace. A licensed wellness counselor on the team gives trauma-informed mental health support during the healing process.
