I am a close friend and client of An Tran, the Owner and talented artist of Salvation Tattoo Parlor in San Jose, California.

I am creating this GoFundMe page to help hopefully raise some money to help my friend because his shop was destroyed in a horrible five alarm fire last night. His was among several businesses in this shopping center to be burnt down to the ground. Unfortunately for An he was not prepared in the event of a situation like this and was not insured with fire insurance as most of these other businsses were and therefor he has really suffered the most and has lost everything that he has been working to build for him and his son.

This crazy and sad event just unfolded in the middle of the night and An was called and given the news that everything was gone. This is not something that can be fixed over night or something you can put a price tag but I think this 5000 would go towards helping him start to put his business back together.

I have been going to get work done by An for over 10 years in his shop. I have tons of friends that An has tattooed over the years and I am honored to have such beautiful artwork from him and I think as a friend and patron I want to help him in anyway that I can and I know there are plenty of generous people out there that would want to do the same.

Its the kindness of people in situations like this that really help turn a tragedy into something positive. We all go and spend money on this or that and if you can help with even a dollar to help fix someones life and give them a light at the end of the tunnel its definitely rewarding and worth it.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this and I know that An and his family would be beyond thankful for your help and support.
