The Awesome Foundation Adelaide grant has supported Inked With Intention to pay for insurance. It's a necessary part of the work Jesse does.

Here is what he has to say about the combination of tattooing and therapy:

As a qualified therapist and a tattooist I've witnessed how deeply emotional it can be for people to commemorate a loved one, mark a significant time in their life, or reclaim a sense of self through tattooing. This work is about slowing down, creating space, and honouring the importance of those moments and the tattoos that carry them.

My work here is about creating a safe and collaborative space with my clients, allowing them to fully embrace the experience of marking their body.
