As many of you may be aware, Kirk of Pirate Ink Studio in Tunstall is in hospital. I'm sure, like me, you want to wish him a speedy recovery. On a selfish note I'd like him, back fit and healthy, so he can finish my leg .

His road to recovery may be a long one, reading his posts on the studio's Facebook page. Being self employed this is going to hit him hard, and we all want to get our ink done!! I want to help raise some money to help with him recuperate faster, because he certainly won't be earning any stuck in that bed.

So if you can, share this page. Even better chip in a few quid if you can, I've put my money where my mouth is and donated first.

Thanks peeps.
