Semicolon temporary tattoos
The semicolon is the symbol of Project Semicolon: the sentence that could have ended and continues. Each design here is printed in jagua ink: the color develops blue-black in the top layers of the skin over 24 to 48 hours, holds fine line detail, and lasts 1 to 2 weeks.
In the collection
The plain glyph, in finer or bolder strokes, and versions that pair it with another motif, all sized small for the wrist, the ankle or behind the ear. Every design applies at home in under two minutes and is waterproof once developed. Related designs sit in symbol tattoos and butterfly tattoos; for a personal version, such as a date or your own handwriting next to the mark, the custom tattoo uses the same ink.
A considered choice
Many people wear the temporary version in solidarity, for awareness events, or to try the exact size and placement before a permanent decision. What the symbol means, where it comes from and how its variants read — the semicolon tattoo, explained with respect.
How long does it last? Up to 2 weeks, a little less on hands and fingers. Can I swim with it? Yes. Just keep it away from water and rubbing for the first 8 hours after application.
