Tattoo Therapy is the collaborative space of tattoo artist, Kelly Gelling and psychotherapist, Catherine Chinnock.  We found that our professions overlapped in a few ways: finding creative voice for self-expression, exploration and memoralization of significant life experiences, and the value of connection. We also connected over shared values: viewing ourselves in roles of service, honoring individual experience while valuing all living beings, and believing that the growth of the individual is in service of the collective.
