Prism
Prism creates washable, soap-based temporary tattoo kits featuring intricate kaleidoscope patterns designed by hijab-wearing artists and other creators from bullied communities. Students wear these beautiful temporary designs to school as visible symbols of solidarity, sparking conversations about identity and inclusivity while the soap-based formula lets them wash away hate speech or negative markings made by bullies.
The Wow Moment
A 12-year-old girl who's been targeted for wearing hijab applies a stunning purple-and-gold kaleidoscope tattoo from a kit designed by a hijab-wearing artist. When a bully tries to mark on her arm with marker, she simply rinses it off with water, her prism tattoo glowing brighter—she literally washes away their hate while wearing art that celebrates her identity. Other students start asking for their own, and suddenly she's not the target, she's the trendsetter leading a movement.
