Jo Harrison is a tattoo artist based in Shrewsbury, England. She has been covering up scars with tattoos for the past 23 years and she believes that her art can inspire positive change in those people who have suffered trauma of some kind, from cancer to self-harm and abusive behaviors.
She works in a private studio called "UN1TY" and mainly focuses on large-scale colored projects.
Jo did her first cover up for a friend of hers who had attempted suicide on her wrist. Since then, she's helped more than 100 clients by doing large-scale tattoos and multiple cover-ups.
Tattoo art has been her only job. She became passionate about it during university, where she invested her student load in tattoo equipment and started tattooing her friends.
