Our Story

What started in 2017 with $50, Georgia network of tattoo artist with a big heart, and a belief that healing could happen through restoration, has now grown into a national movement. ARI is survivor-led, built from lived experience, and shaped by compassion.

We exist to transform painful reminders into symbols of hope. Through tattoo removal, cover-ups, scar revisions, Human Trafficking Tattoo education, and advocacy, we walk beside survivors of human trafficking, exploitation, self-harm, addiction, and gang involvement—helping them reclaim their stories and rewrite their future, while training communities and the Tattoo Industry on indicators and Human Trafficking response.

Our Values

Trauma-Informed – We prioritize safety, consent, and understanding at every step.
Dignity – Every person deserves respect, regardless of their past.
Empowerment – We believe in helping survivors reclaim control over their story.
Confidentiality – Trust and privacy are the foundation of everything we do.
Collaboration – We partner with survivors, artists, and allies to create sustainable change.

We’re not a rescue mission—we’re a relationship mission.

Our process is survivor-led, holistic, and built on safe, judgment-free spaces where people can heal at their own pace

Our Team

Our team is made up of survivors, advocates, artists, and professionals who believe healing takes a community. Each person brings expertise, integrity, and heart to ARI’s mission of restoring dignity through trauma-informed care and collaboration.
