03 Prick Therapy

Through a digital full body portrait and embroidery, Prick Therapy aims to express and explore the restorative power of tattoos to regain a sense of bodily autonomy.For many marginalised people, especially those of which have experienced trauma, the relationship to the body can become increasingly fractured.I find myself among a collection of folks that have found the process of getting tattooed incredibly therapeutic. The process of trusting another artist with my body, and adorning myself with artworks of my own choosing has helped me re-assemble my relationship with my body, and claim it as my own.
