Local Tattoo Artist Needs Help After Hit & Run!

A great artist & member of our community needs help. In the photo above is one of my best friends Cristian who taught my wife & many others to tattoo, but we call him Rose. Rose was struck by a vehicle at W 23rd Pl & Wadsworth Blvd shortly after 10:00 PM on 2/25 of this year. If you have any information about this incident, it would mean a lot.

Last year there were 54 hits & runs in Denver, we are elated to still have him here with us. Unfortunately, even though Rose fought the car & sent them running away scared, both of his legs are completely shattered from the knee down, being held together by braces. Because Rose is an independent contractor, he's uninsured, & with great spirits allowed us to create a gofundme on his behalf to help him endure the cost of hospitalization & the long road to recovery.

Rose loves to paint & snowboard, a generous man from Chihuahua, MX. He is a valuable pillar of the Nocturnal Tattoo II family, bringing up amazing artists such as Nina Irezumi & voidparables. We have good times getting tacos off Federal & playing tabletop games with our friends. Rose is in the springtime of his youth & it's nice to see him in such high spirits considering his status.

We appreciate anything the community can pool to help. We'll be sure to provide updates on his condition as the journey continues. Thank you all for your time & consideration.
