Llanidloes tattoo artists have received hundreds of pounds in donations for charity by tattooing semi colons to help raise awareness of mental health.
Around 45 people were inked by four artists during a seven-and-a-half-hour inkathon at Glow Tattoo Studio in King's Yard on Tuesday, April 5.
Glow Tattoo Studio said it was a "great day" for the team after they raised £570 for the charity Suicide Awareness / Prevention UK.
"Thank you to all for coming in and getting your semi colons!" the Llanidloes business said.

A semi colon tattoo is used to represent suicide awareness as it symbolises the moment someone chooses not to end a sentence, but to continue on.
The semi colon project is a tattoo movement which started in 2019 by charity Suicide Awareness / Prevention UK (SAPUK), where studios across the world join in tattooing the semi colon design.
