The Link between Ink and Mental Health

The link between tattooing and mental health isn’t the most obvious. Tattooist Fernando Hideki bridges that gap, using his skills to help and support people on their mental health journeys. Fernando hosts events out of his Balmain studio with Beyond Blue in order to raise awareness for issues of mental health.
