Survivor Application 2025

Thank you for your courage in reaching out. We appreciate the trust you place in us, and we are truly honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.

While we wish we could meet every request, there are times when limitations prevent us from being able to do so.

At this time, we are unable to accommodate large-scale tattoo cover-ups or removals.

Our services are made possible through the generous support of trauma informed artists, community donors, & volunteers. We expect all interactions with our team remain respectful and understanding.

If you’re inquiring about our program or training and are located out of state, please email us at ari.careteam@gmail.com, and we will do our best to assist you.

For residential, MDT, or programs outside that need tattoo services for your clients, please contact us at admin@arionline.org with a referral from your agency.

Please note that all tattoos are screened, and scars must be fully healed between 6 months to 1 year OR at the artist's discretion before cover-ups can be done.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to continue providing these services in the most compassionate and effective way possible.
