Ink Is Therapy

My name is Taylor and I am a tattoo artist based out of Vancouver, BC. My story plays a big role in what I want my business to stand for, so I thought I would share a bit with you. As an abuse survivor, I grew up feeling uncomfortable in my own body for many years. I got caught up in what social media perceives to be a beautiful body at a young age and my confidence was shot. I used art as an outlet to express how I was feeling and to cope with battling C-PTSD. While continuing art as a hobby, I pursued a career as a yoga instructor, yoga therapist and personal trainer which helped a lot with my mental health. During this time, I started to get my first few tattoos and fell in love with how they changed my own perception of my body. No longer seeing myself as damaged but instead something so beautiful. My goal is to help others feel beautiful in their own skin and honour what their bodies have been through. And that is what Ink Therapy is.
