3. Semicolon
Semicolons indicate a pause in a sentence; where the author could have ended the sentence completely, they chose to pause it and continue on. These semicolon tattoos symbolize struggles with mental health and the desire to sometimes end life, just as an author could end the sentence at any time. By wearing a semicolon, the person is saying that they have at sometimes considered ending their lives but decided to be strong and continue on.
