Ghost Town Tattoo Ellicott City

Donation protected

Ghost Town Odditorium is located in Historic Ellicott city and needs your help! Ghost town has been open in Ellicott City for 8 years and is owned Matt Rinks. Last weekend, a devastating flash flood occurred, destroying a majority of the city. Luckily, the tattoo shop suvived largely untouched. A majority of the roads leading to Ellicott City are closed for repair efforts with no time line for reopening. As it stands, it is extremely difficult to access the area or to park. Walk in business will be nonexistent. After surviving a wall collapse during an earthquake (right next door to the shop) and a major train derailment and associated recovery ( right in front of the shop), this latest hurdle will be even more difficult to recover from. The wall collapse blocked the business from plain view for nearly three years as they argued over solutions. Ghost Town employs seven employees whose families depend on them for support. Matt and Lee both spent over a decade as residents of Ellicott City an have always supported the community and other local businesses. We are looking to cover our operational costs and the support of our employees due to lost wages and missed work. The future is unsure and the cleanup is extensive. We have no idea when we can expect normal buisness to resume. With that being said, your help would be greatly appreciated. You can also show support by coming out to Ellicott City and getting tattooed!
