In a crisis, the tattoo community always digs deep to help those in need. Shops and studios have been raising money to support both humans and non-humans affected by the Australian bush fire nightmare. There have been loads of flash days and other fundraisers going on during the last couple of months, donating to charities such as the Australian Red Cross, New South Wales Rural Fire Service, wildlife rescue charity WIRES and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Australia. Just heard about an ongoing year-long donation scheme at Ancient Marks Tattoo Parlour in Melbourne.
Mac Lawless is offering to tattoo any designs from his Bush-fire Relief Flash Sheet for AU$150, of which AU$50 will be donated to Victoria's Country Fire Authority emergency service – for the rest of 2020! Another year-long scheme at Ancient Marks is Mac's offer to plant a native tree for every tattoo appointment of AU$250 upwards. Let us know about any charity happenings at your shop or studio, and please send high res photos too. If you want us to publicist the event in advance, we need to know by the 12th of the previous month.
