OFFICIAL SPONSOR ANNOUNCEMENT!

We are beyond excited to officially welcome Mental Health America of Indiana as a sponsor of the 2027 Tattoos Saved My Life Invitational and a supporter of the Tattoos Saved My Life movement! 🖤🔥

At Tattoos Saved My Life, we believe tattoos are so much more than ink. They’re stories of survival, strength, healing, and second chances. For so many of us, tattoos have helped us reclaim our lives, honor our struggles, and turn pain into something powerful.

That’s why this partnership means so much to us!

Mental Health America of Indiana is dedicated to advancing mental health awareness, advocacy, education, and support. Together, we share a belief that mental health matters, every story deserves to be heard, and nobody should have to fight their battles alone.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL…

We’ve been working behind the scenes with Mental Health America of Indiana on something SUPER SPECIAL, and we cannot wait to share it with all of you!

We’re keeping the details under wraps for now, but trust us… THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS!

The big unveiling will happen JANUARY 1–3, 2027, at the @tsmlinvitational in Noblesville, Indiana!

This is bigger than tattoos. Bigger than an event. This is about making a difference, breaking the stigma surrounding mental health, and reminding people that their story isn’t over.

Please help us give Mental Health America of Indiana a HUGE welcome to the TSML family!

NEW YEAR. NEW YOU. NEW TATTOO.

YOUR STORY MATTERS. YOUR LIFE MATTERS.

We don’t always get it right the first time. Or the second.. or sometimes, even the 17th! 😩😅

That just makes it THAT much better, when we do.
