ARI (Atlanta Redemption Ink) 

Atlanta Redemption Ink (ARI) is a survivor-founded non-profit dedicated to bringing hope, recovery, and transformation to individuals who carry painful marks from their past. With a focus on turning these marks into symbols of hope, empowering individuals to reclaim their lives.

ARI's primary service is the provision of free tattoo removals/cover-ups & scar revisions to survivors of sex trafficking, gang affiliation, self-harmers, and addiction recovery. We aid in erasing or transforming these markings & seeing it as a step toward survivors' healing.  Importantly, this process takes place in a safe and supportive environment facilitated by artists/specialists who are skilled but also trauma-informed, vetted & trusted. 

 We also believe in the power of collaboration with communities nationwide. 

ARI extends its support through "Beyond Ink", which offers survivor-led Iconography training,  program referrals, therapy,  job readiness, & alternative high school diplomas.
