According to the Black Dog Institute, 1 in 5 Australians will experience mental health issues at any year.

For those who has experienced them, a tattoo empowers them to tell their journeys on the issue.

A tattoo artist in Sydney will have an event called “Tattoo vs Suicide”, where people can share their journey with a tattoo. All the money raised will be donated to BeyondBlue.

The event will happen on Sunday 21 March from 10am onwards at Tora Sumi Tattoo, on 381 Darling St., Balmain, NSW.
