Hey everyone, 

Andy is a tattoo artist in Charlotte/Kannapolis, NC whose livelihood was ruined last night by a horrific accident. His studio shared a wall with a restaurant, and the kitchen caught fire and spread throughout the whole building around 10:30pm on July 23, 2018. Unfortunately, all of his equipment and other valuables (tattoo machines, ink, tattoo chairs and beds, Mac computer, TV, and sentimental paintings and drawings, etc.) went up in flames with the rest of the building. For Andy, this means no way of tattooing, making an income, or pursuing his dream. 
Between the costs of the tangible items and investments, he lost $20,000 in the shop alone. Because of this, he needs help getting back on his feet to invest in more equipment and hopefully reopen his studio. 

We're reaching for a goal of $25,000 to supplement the equipment, and keep Andy stable with bills in the mean time. 

If you cannot afford to donate, we understand, but we would like to ask you to at least share this page with your friends and family in hopes that there will be others out there who can make a donation. This is an urgent cause since Andy has no machines, no ink, and no way to make an income until he has at least those items. 

Thank you all for reading, donating, and sharing. If you would like to follow this story for updates, you may follow Andy's business page on Instagram at @andyelectrictattooss
