Tattooed Phoenix
The Tattooed Phoenix Project is a program of Creative Solution Foundation focused on healing and reclamation through tattooing.
This program supports survivors by connecting them with artists and resources in a safe, respectful, and consent-driven environment. It exists alongside the magazine as a direct community impact initiative.
Skindependent is a bi-annual print and digital tattoo culture magazine documenting the people, studios, and stories that shape the industry over time.
The magazine focuses on longevity, evolution, and the realities of working tattoo life. It is curated editorially and published independently to preserve cultural integrity.

The foundation’s long-term goal is to create a permanent creative space that brings multiple disciplines together under one roof.

Why This Matters
Creative work deserves infrastructure. Tattoo culture deserves documentation. Communities deserve spaces where creative expression and healing can exist side by side.
Creative Solution Foundation is building toward that future with care and intention.
Our Vision
We are working toward a permanent Creative Hub a multi-purpose arts space supporting galleries, tattoo-informed healing, studios, and community programs alongside the initiatives we run now.
Why donating matters
Your donation directly supports creative work, healing, and access to the arts. Contributions help fund art supplies, workshops, trauma-informed tattooing through the Tattooed Phoenix Project, and the long-term development of a permanent Creative Hub.
Your support invests in people by giving artists, students, and community members space to create, heal, and tell their stories. Every donation helps sustain programs that make the arts accessible regardless of background or financial ability.
Creativity is contagious, pass it on.
