Inspired by a Personal Struggle
If you have been noticing a lot of semicolon tattoos recently, it’s just a coincidence among grammar enthusiasts. As Upworthy reports, This tattoo design is a part of a movement to raise awareness for suicide prevention and support people with mental health struggles. The idea is that the 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.” It is a chance to honor not only your struggle (or someone you love who battles with mental illness) but also your survival. Talk about a worthy symbol to wear proudly, forever.
