For the past year and a half, @tenebrous_tattoo ha For the past year and a half, @tenebrous_tattoo has offered something deeply significant for survivors—tattoo cover-ups as a tool for healing.

“It’s very healing,” says Lynnae, a survivor who recently had a scar covered. “It’s like putting your past behind you. It’s a new step forward.”

When Tenebrous opened, owners Joshua and Angela wanted a way to give back to the community. Joshua was covering up work put on a friend by an abuser, and the idea for this partnership began to take shape.

“Throughout the totality of my time tattooing, I have seen the value of cover-ups for people who were covering up a negative part of their life,” he shares.

Angela adds, “A cover-up is transformative. It’s a rare opportunity to see it actively transform someone as they watch that old work disappear.”

Thank you to Joshua and Angela for letting us feature them in our spring Bloom newsletter! Read the full issue at the link in bio. 💜

Paula's story is featured in our spring Bloom news Paula's story is featured in our spring Bloom newsletter! 💜

"Coming here gave me resources to deal with what happened during my childhood. I grew up in a very chaotic situation and GreenHouse17 gave me tools to deal with this trauma.

When you’re a survivor, you’re surviving. You’re going to make compromises with yourself and your pride to deal with abusers. You will have to make sacrifices.

I lived in the transitional housing program after shelter. Having a place of my own that I could afford kept me from going back. 

Today, I work at two elementary schools, volunteer at church, co-lead a Latino Literacy program, and am working to become a Spanish Interpreter for Fayette County Schools."
