Help Rebuild District Tattoo After Vandalism

Steve Fish is the owner of District Tattoo in Dayton, Ohio, and a close friend of mine. He has poured his heart into building a welcoming space for artists and clients alike. Just three days before his wedding, Steve’s world was turned upside down when someone drove their car into the front of his tattoo shop, causing significant damage and forcing him to close his doors unexpectedly.

The responsibility for repairs falls entirely on Steve, and the costs are overwhelming. Not only does he need to rebuild the shop itself, but he also needs to get back up and running quickly so that all the talented tattoo artists who work with him have a place to continue their craft and support their families. Every day the shop is closed means lost income for Steve and his team, and the stress of this situation is compounded by the timing—right before one of the most important moments in his life.

Sometimes things happen to us and we’re forced to reach out to our community and ask for help. I’m asking for your support to help Steve rebuild District Tattoo and get his team back to work. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference for Steve, his artists, and the community they serve. Thank you for considering a gift and for sharing this fundraiser with others who might want to help.
