A tatuagem com ponto e vírgula (;) é um símbolo de força, esperança e superação, especialmente relacionado à saúde mental. Ela representa a decisão de continuar, mesmo em momentos difíceis, e é amplamente associada a questões como depressão, ansiedade, vícios, automutilação e prevenção ao suicídio.
Significado profundo:
• Assim como o ponto e vírgula na escrita indica uma pausa em vez de um fim, a tatuagem simboliza que a pessoa escolheu seguir em frente, mesmo quando parecia mais fácil desistir.
• É também um lembrete de que os desafios são apenas parte da história, mas não o fim dela.
Essa ideia nasceu do Projeto Ponto e Vírgula (Project Semicolon), iniciado em 2013 pela ativista Amy Bleuel, que usou o símbolo como uma maneira de espalhar amor e esperança para quem luta com problemas de saúde mental.
Se você está considerando essa tatuagem, saiba que ela também é um símbolo de comunidade — muitas pessoas usam para apoiar umas às outras, mostrando que ninguém está sozinho. É uma escolha muito especial!
A semicolon (;) tattoo is a symbol of hope, strength, and continuing life.
It comes from the idea in writing: a semicolon is used when a sentence could end, but the writer chooses to continue it.
In the same way, the tattoo represents:
* “My story isn’t over yet.”
* Choosing to keep going during tough times
* Overcoming struggles like depression, anxiety, or emotional pain
It became widely known through Project Semicolon, a movement started to support people dealing with mental health challenges.
💭 In simple words:
It means you paused… but didn’t stop.
If someone has this tattoo, it’s usually something very personal—either their own journey or support for someone else.

Bom, o amor é sentimento, por isso não tem forma própria, mas se tem uma coisa que quase todo mundo concorda é de que o coração simboliza o amor. Dessa forma, uma tatuagem de coração representa o amor, por algo ou alguém, pela vida, pelo viver 🤍
A tatuagem é um símbolo de um projeto chamado 'Project Semicolon', ou, traduzido para o português: 'Projeto Ponto e Vírgula', que tem como objetivo principal amparar e ajudar pessoas que sofrem de depressão e outras doenças similares, podem representa também que mesmo podendo colocar um ponto final, decidimos continuar, alcançar, avançar 🤍 pois a vida é única, é linda, inspirações para pessoas querer viver 🤍
Apaixonada demais em cada traçinho 🤍

Have you seen my Project Semicolon inspired embroidery? 😍 Have you seen a semicolon tattoo on someone you know?
“A semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life.” Project Semicolon® is a nonprofit dedicated to mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
I’ve been wanting to make a semicolon/ mental health awareness piece for a while now, so I figured the month of May would be perfect for Mental Health Awareness Month!
This piece was heavily inspired by @thedouglassfamily_ @mindfulmantra_embroidery @matryoshkadollshop @magnusandquill @foxknollco @stressawaystitching @lifewithbess @sfchoops and @harvestgoodsco
I made this piece as a reminder for myself. That my story isn’t over yet. Your story isn’t over yet.
If you ever feel alone, please know that you are not and help is always available.

This is your sign to get that tattoo you’ve been putting off✨
As a Nigerian woman, tattoos have always felt extremely taboo. But the more I embrace my authenticity, the more I realize I’m an artist at heart, and self-expression is essential to me.
This tattoo holds deep meaning. It wasn’t just a spontaneous decision—it was the result of carrying several ideas for over a year before finally committing.
Why a butterfly? I know it’s a bit cliché for a girl, but it’s significant to me. One of my daughter’s first words was ‘butterfly,’ and the symbol represents transformation, rebirth, and growth—everything I’ve experienced. I also feel a strong connection to the phoenix, so I asked my artist to incorporate phoenix tails, which symbolize rising from the ashes, renewal, and resilience.
Another important element is the number 222, which resonates with me for its connection to wisdom and spiritual growth. It’s mentioned 222 times in the Bible, adding even more significance.
The stars and moon represent one of my favorite quotes: ‘Shoot for the moon, and if you don’t make it, you’ll still land among the stars.’ This symbolizes my aspirations and determination to keep reaching for my dreams, no matter how far they may seem.
Finally, the hidden semicolon in the butterfly’s wings symbolizes my mental health journey. Inspired by the ‘Project Semicolon’ movement, it represents resilience, hope, and the choice to continue through life’s challenges. It reminds me that even when life felt like it was over, I chose to keep going.
This tattoo is my reminder of not only the struggles I’ve faced but also my strength and resilience. I’m so grateful to @jeffytattoos at @brightsidetattooshop for bringing my vision to life more beautifully than I could have ever imagined. 🥹 #baltimoretattooartist #tattooideas

Тату крапка з комою ( ; ) має особливий символічний сенс.
Воно означає продовження життя, навіть коли були моменти, коли хотілося його зупинити.
Як у граматиці: крапка могла б завершити речення, але замість цього ставиться крапка з комою — і воно продовжується.
🔹 Символ використовують люди, які пережили важкі періоди — депресію, тривогу, думки про суїцид, втрату сенсу.
🔹 Це також нагадування собі: “Моя історія ще не закінчена”.
🔹 Часто воно пов’язане з рухом Project Semicolon, що підтримує психічне здоров’я.
"A semicolon tattoo is a symbol used primarily to represent mental health awareness and resilience, signifying the choice to continue one's story despite facing challenges like depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts; it is often associated with the "Project Semicolon" movement, where the semicolon represents pausing before continuing a sentence, meaning the person has chosen to keep going instead of ending their life." Regardless of if we're in or out of cosplay, we are still us. Our tattoos and scars don't go away. We are all just a person, just like everyone else, under all that makeup and that costume. If you are reading this, know you are not alone. Especially this holiday season. You are so loved and cherished. The world wouldn't be as bright without you in it. I know I don't talk about it much but I was one of those people who also didn't want to be in the world anymore. I know firsthand how dark and scary it is being there and how endless that deep, crushing hole in your chest feels. Change is difficult and scary but it doesn't always mean it's bad. Change can happen. You are not alone. We have our comfort characters for a reason. Cosplay is a form of self-expression and can used to discover pieces of yourself you never thought existed. I relate to Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel for many reasons. Reasons, I know the fandom understands down to it's very core, cause a good portion of us have been alone and abandoned, and feeling like the world is coming down on us. This is why cosplay can be therapeutic. Working through and expressing these emotions through a form of art and self-expression is so good for you and can be life changing.
Lastly, if you are reading this, again know. You are loved. By me, your friends, and by so many people you don't even know that look forward to seeing you smile everyday. ❤️
April 16 is World Semicolon Day, which recognizes suicide survivors and aims to raise awareness and offer support for all those who are experiencing mental health challenges. Project Semicolon was founded by Amy Bleuel in 2013, as a tribute to her father, who died by suicide in 2003.
Why are we here? "Just" great coffee? Not exactly.
It is the Radix House culture and mission to support communities through conversation and education on the topic of PTSD and mental health to stop these leading causes of death in our communities. We do so by providing the best customer experience whether it be through enjoying our amazing coffee, someone trying hemp-based solutions for the first time and/or providing information regarding resources. The normalization of mental health conversations is critical for people to get the help they need and it's why we're proud to be one of the main sponsors for the Administration for Suicide Prevention in Central Texas.
At our Out of the Darkness Community Walks, friends, family members, neighbors and coworkers walk side by side, supporting each other and remembering those we’ve lost. Join us and be part of the movement to create a world without suicide. Link in bio for more information about the Out of The Darkness walks with our friends at #AFSP.
