Scar Revision & Healing Artistry

Transforming Scars into Symbols of Survival

Every scar tells difficult stories — but not all stories need to stay visible. Our scar revision and healing artistry program helps survivors reclaim confidence after self-harm, exploitation, or violence. Whether through medical revision or artistic transformation, ARI’s mission is to restore both the skin and the soul beneath it.

THE SURVIVOR APPLICATION

Why this matters.

Scars can carry deep emotional weight. For many survivors, they serve as constant reminders of pain, shame, or survival. We don’t erase the story — we help you transform it. Healing starts when you no longer have to explain your past every time someone asks, “What happened?”

How we do it.

Depending on your needs, ARI offers two paths:

  • Medical Scar Revision: Partnering with licensed dermatologists who provide treatment for self-harm or trauma-related scarring.
  • Healing Artistry: Partnering with trained tattoo artists to transform scars into meaningful art that represents hope and personal growth.

Each path starts with a trauma-informed consultation to decide what’s best for you.
