This Craft has an incredibly impressionable impact upon the vessel, heart, and mind. Manual - or by hand - body art means an organic and precise approach. In return, inflicting half the trauma to the skin that a machine would apply. Working with the nervous system allows the piece to heal, in a significantly shorter time frame. Provided safely by healing hands, with an additional sense of comfort and safety. Thus, eliminating the presence of jarring vibrations, emitting from a mechanical method. Through conscious consent and compassionate care, our artist-practitioners deliver reassuring and affirming support.

Consider not only the skin’s depth of body art - but holistic influences. Imprinting allows us to embrace pain for a personal breakthrough.

Consider not only the skin’s depth of body art - but holistic influences. Imprinting allows us to embrace pain for a personal breakthrough. Through this process, there is not only a literal Imprint, but a residual emotional and energetic one. From the given experience, multiple dimensions stick with a person. This artistic milestone is a neurological reframing, just as much as an aesthetic expression. Chemicals released in the brain like endorphins, and epinephrine, cause a natural shift of consciousness within a session. As a positive consequence, this becomes associated with the act of vulnerability, in trusting an artist. Imprinting is especially healing for survivors of abuse and PTSD, made manifest as a permanently empowering talisman.

We come together, patient and practitioner, to cultivate the ceremony or session you need. Imprinting is a two-way street, an exciting collaboration! From the inception of a session, we open space for the patient to ease inward. Receiving a piece nurtures introspection. Ensuring pure medicine allows us to explore internally; an opportunity to make peace within. Holistic (all-encompassing) care brings us closer to ourselves. Cultures of every continent have taught this within tradition. Today, we build resurgence of body art customs for all lineages. Imprinting bestows us a gateway for greater frontiers of expansion and reverence.
