CHARITY EVENT - BEYOND BLUE

Fernando will be donating the proceeds of a full day of tattooing to Beyond Blue to support those struggling with depression and self-harm.

”I have been a tattoo artist for 18 years and during my career I have travelled around the world and I have met many people who suffer from mental health difficulties, particularly depression. When I moved to Australia two years ago, I have noticed through my work that it is not uncommon in Australia to have self-harm scars. During these years, I have met many people who are trying to move past self-harm and move forwards in their life through covering their scars with tattoos.”

”Many have told me that the choice to cover their scars with tattoos was empowering and would increase their self-esteem, and help them feel better about themselves and get their self-esteem back. I would like to help people and help Beyond Blue a little bit to continue with the great work they have been doing.”
