Getting Inked For OZ
Donation protected
As you're all probably aware, Australia is facing extremely difficult times with regards to the bushfires currently taking place all over the country. I plan to raise £1000 through donations which will be split between 2 charities. To encourage people to donate, I'm going to let the public chose for me, a tattoo.-through suggestions and a final poll. (anything goes**) Once my target of £1000 has been met, I will get the tattoo (a tattoo artist has been arranged).
.The Charities.
WIRES- who are a wildlife emergency trust in New South Wales but are focusing on aiding animals all over the country which have been effected.
DISASTER REFLIEF AND RECOVERY RED CROSS AUSTRALIA- I've chosen these guys as they're not focused on aiding people affected only in one region, but also all over Australia. They are currently helping to shelter and support victims of the bushfires, especially those who have lost their homes.
During the catastrophic fires, lives have been lost (an estimated 28 people as of 8th January), over 10.7 million hectares of land has been destroyed (including over 2,204 homes) and dozens of fires are still burning. It was estimated that close to half a billion animals in New South Wales, alone, were affected by the ongoing fires, with fears that sadly many species will become extinct because of this over the next decade.
Despite my efforts to accept that these fires are out of my control, the overwhelming sense of helplessness has had me feeling extremely sad and frustrated, especially over the past week. However I've chosen to pick myself up and decided to try and do what I can to help in my own wee way, hopefully with your help!
- HOW IT WILL WORK-
Below, I've Attached a link to a post with regards to this fundraiser on my Facebook page.

On that post, anyone and everyone is welcome to post, suggesting anything they'd like to see me get inked. (The crazier the better as this encourages donations)
After 2 weeks, the top 5 suggestions with the most 'Likes' will be made into a poll and there, until the 1st February people can vote on which tattoo they'd like me to get. So make sure and 'like' your fave!
Once the target amount has been met, my tattoo awaits!
.FIY.
**Suggestions for tattoos can be as outlandish, funny, dirty, suggestive, political etc as you like, but racist and overly offensive (to other people) suggestions will be deleted.
The size of the tattoo will be no bigger than 10cm x 10cm and will be placed on my leg.
!!PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU COMMENT ANY SUGGESTIONS ON MY ORIGIONAL POST!! As this is where the 'liking' happens. ;)
I really didn't want to do a skydive, or a coffee morning so I really hope this entices you all to give a little towards a cause which I think really needs our help right now and which really means a lot to me! If you've read this far and are considering donating or already have, thank you!
Have fun, and wish me luck.
