A semicolon tattoo is a small tattoo of a semi-colon placed usually on the wrist, arm, side, finger, or behind the ear. The semicolon has become a popular choice for a tattoo because it represents so much in just one simple mark. For many people, the semicolon tattoo is a reminder that their story isn't over yet; it's a way to show others that they are survivors. The semicolon can also represent hope, strength, and determination.
