Anthony Moylan is a tattoo artist at Twenty Two Tattoo Lounge, Bournemouth. His work stands out with wide range of nontraditional unique pieces, blue and red 3D line work tattoos custom designed mandala and floral pieces, vibrant colours,
"things that people haven't seen before."
A year ago he started tattooing over self-harm scars and was even offering covering scars for free. I met him to talk about his experience with tattooing over self-harm scars, what made him not charge people for the tattoos, if he thinks that his work can ease the emotional pain of his clients and all about the technical side of applying a tattoo over heavy scar tissue.
For advice on how to stop self-harming, visit this website or reach out to Self Injury Support. You can also call 116 123, available 24 hours a day, providing for emotional support, if you are experiencing feelings of distress, despair or suicidal thoughts.
