Tattoo Artists Giving Back
The wildfires are still raging on in Australia causing mass destruction. There will be lasting effects that will be tough to overcome. While nobody can fix it, many in the tattoo community are rallying to raise money for the cause. Tattoo artists have always been quick to give back in times of need. That is what makes our community so great. We want to shed some light on some of the shops around the world that are doing their part. If you are a shop that did or is doing something please let us know and we will add you to the list.

We saved our most favorite for last. Think Tank Tattoo (@thinktanktattoo) in Denver, CO has a wheel that customers can spin for $60 and whatever the wheel lands on they can get that tattoo. If they don’t like the one they land on they can spin again for $20. You can see all the design on the wheel in thier IG post.
One customer got this Steve Irwin tattoo. Talk about a great story for a tattoo.
Once again we give a big shout out and thank you to everyone who is raising money for not only the Australian wildfires but for good causes around the world.
