People often get tattoos that are meaningful to them, using their bodies as a canvas to tell their stories. However, a semicolon tattoo holds its own meaning, one that is powerful and can change lives. c Among numerous trends are several confusing or questionable tattoo choices. However, the semicolon tattoo is becoming increasingly popular and holds a powerful meaning. It became popular in 2013 and has since taken off. The semicolon tattoo irepresents mental health struggles, suicide prevention and awareness, and solidarity for those who struggle. The Tattoo that Inspired a Project Project Semicolon (tattoo) began on social media in 2013. The creators describe the semicolon tattoo as a “movement dedicated to presenting hope and love to those who are struggling with depression, suicide, addiction, and self-injury. Project Semicolon exists to encourage, love, and inspire.” The semicolon tattoo has a powerful message and was carefully selected as the symbol of suicide awareness and prevention. “A semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life.” Explained the creators. The movement began as an encouragement for people to draw a semicolon on their bodies. Then they were urged to take a picture and share it on social media. However, it became more popular than anyone imagined. Now, it’s become a popular tattoo choice among those who’ve struggled with mental health. Additionally, it’s popular among those who have loved someone who’s struggled with their mental health. The movement prompted another trend, The Semicolon Tattoo Project, founded by Jenn Brown and Jeremy Jaramillo. They saw an opportunity to help and seized it, helping to eliminate the stigma around mental health disorders. Mental Illness is Worth Talking About Mental illness is common and can be caused by numerous things, including a bad day, suffering from the loss of a loved one, a huge life change, or any number of variables that impact daily life. For example, in 2012 more than 43 million Americans reported they suffered from some mental illness or disorder. A fact that makes it even more alarming that people don’t feel comfortable talking about their condition or reaching out for help. The Semicolon Tattoo Makes a Big Impact “[The semicolon tattoo] is a conversation starter,” explains Jenn. “People ask what it is, and we get to tell them the purpose.” “I think if you see someone’s tattoo that you’re interested in, that’s fair game to start a conversation with someone you don’t know,” adds Jeremy. “It provides a great opportunity to talk. Tattoos are interesting — marks we put on our bodies that are important to us.” In 2014, the pair held an event to commemorate the Semicolon Tattoo Project. Those in support could go to one of many tattoo shops to get a semicolon tattoo at a flat rate. “That money was a fundraiser for our crisis center,” said Jenn. More than 400 people got semicolon tattoos on the first day and the local event took off globally.

Friends and family of NFL wide receiver and Super Bowl winner Jacoby Jones are saddened by his sudden death. Jones left an indelible mark on football. Jones, who was 40 years old, died peacefully at his home in New Orleans on July 14, 2024. He was talented, charming, and kind. c The Baltimore Ravens, where Jones played for a lot of years, sent their deepest regrets and praised his unique ability to connect with everyone he met. “His happiness, charm, and love gave him a one-of-a-kind presence that brightened even the gloomiest days,” they said. Jones was a “light” and a “cherished son” to his mother, according to Coach John Harbaugh, who remembered him with fondness. Linebacker Ray Lewis, who is in the Ravens’ Hall of Fame, said the same thing. He called Jones a “brother” whose memories and hard work would never be forgotten. Other well-known people, like Pat McAfee and Robert Griffin III, praised Jones’s amazing skills, kindness, and ability. Supporters and fans of the player shared their sadness, memories, and love for them on social media. Following his time in sports, Jones worked as a coach at Lane College, Morgan State, and Alabama State. He also showed off his dancing skills on “Dancing with the Stars,” where he came in third place. Jones was inducted into the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Hall of Fame just a few days before he died. This shows how long-lasting his impact is. During this hard time, his family, including his mother Emily and son Jacoby, asks for thoughts, privacy, and support. Even though football fans are still sad about Jacoby Jones’s death, his great career, friendly nature, and lasting effect on those he met will always be remembered.
