Gomez, Alisha Boe, and Tommy Dorfman got matching semicolons on their wrists.
Gomez executive produced the controversial Netflix series "13 Reasons Why," which premiered in 2017.
Shortly after, Gomez joined the show's stars Alisha Boe (who played Hannah's ex-BFF Jessica) and Tommy Dorfman (who played poet Ryan Shaver) for a tattoo session in Hollywood.
Their matching semicolons represent mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
"Project semicolon is a movement dedicated to presenting hope for those suffering from depression, thoughts of suicide, addiction, and self-injury," Boe wrote on Instagram.
Amy Bleuel, whom Boe referenced in her caption, was the mental-health activist who started the mental-health non-profit Project Semicolon. According to Bleuel's interview with "The Mighty" the inspiration behind the semicolon for a mental-health organization is derived from its grammatical use.
"In literature, an author uses a semicolon to not end a sentence but to continue on," she said. "We see it as you are the author and your life is the sentence. You're choosing to keep going."
