Friday 13th!

Friday 13th August Tattoo Charity Event
Friday 13th August Tattoo Charity Event

Five tattooists.
Five members of staff and volunteers.
Over 135 customers.
Over 140 designs.
50 t-shirts
200 button-badges.
490 photos.
6 16-inch pizzas

And £3176.70 raised so far…

That’s just some of the numbers involved in our absolutely amazing yet rather insane Friday 13th Charity Event!

Anyone who popped in will tell you the day was a success.  We saw so many generous people who got tattooed, bought t-shirts and badges, and made donations to add to our total. We still have a few t-shirts to sell, so the total is ongoing, but so far we have made an incredible £3176.70. We hoped to surpass our total last year of £800, and ended up almost quadrupling it!

So this is a huge THANK YOU to everyone who got involved. We couldn’t have done it without you all!

Well, it’s nearly here! A week tomorrow, our Friday 13th Charity Event will take place and we couldn’t be more excited! We have FOUR artists working all day FOR FREE (along with our other staff working for free too) with ALL proceeds going to Strathcarron Hospice.  We have a selection of tattoos available for £20, instead of the usual £30-£40, and you can get as many as you like! One customer is currently booked in for four!

Most of our staff with be dressing up for the ocassion, so expect a few surprises! I will also be padding around with my camera taking photos of the fun. If all goes to plan, there will also be t-shirts for sale! Again with the t-shirts, all the profit will be going towards Strathcarron.

So make sure you pop along, it’s going to be a great day! And getting tattoos for charity? It doesn’t get much better than that!
