Yesterday, millions of people wore purple or posted purple images for #SpiritDay. A day to visibly show solidarity with LGBTQ+ youth who face bullying and harassment because of their identities. Here is a 'day after' post to continue the conversation. As an employer of many LGBTQ+ folx, we want the youth out there to know- YOU matter, YOU are important, if things for you are tough right now, know there are communities who accept you and believe in you. You deserve to thrive as your unique selves, and this is something that deserves awareness everyday. Here is a form of solidarity that will last a lifetime- a pride tattoo by @creepytikicri, who joins our resident team starting Nov 1!

On this 'Canada Day', we want to acknowledge that the country we live, work and play in is a beautiful place to be. Canada also has a lot of work to do towards reconciliation. We, at Liquid Amber Tattoo, are immigrants on this land and we are so grateful to be here on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples–Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. May we consider the history of this land and recognize all our relations, on this Canada Day and everyday. This abstract maple leaf tattoo by @miloisdrawing reminds us of the beautiful melting pot that is Canada.
