Support Arboretum Studios' Free Tattoo Event

Update:

We passed our goal for donations! A huge thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and helped support this event. We couldn’t make this happen without you!

On behalf of all the artists here at Arboretum Studios, we are incredibly grateful to have so many kind, generous people donate to this event. It’s overwhelming to see the amount of support that you all have given us. Being able to give back to this community is an absolute honor and we’re so excited that we get to do this event.

Tattoo is such a beautiful art form that can help people regain confidence and bodily autonomy. Being able to share this art form that we love so much, with people who otherwise wouldn’t have access to it is such an amazing opportunity. We are truly humbled and feel blessed to know every one of you. ❤️

All of the money we raise over our $500 goal is going towards our next cover up charity event, so stay tuned on our social media page for future announcements!

In our pursuit of doing what we can to help our community, who has been so supportive of our small tattoo shop, we have organized a free tattoo event for low-income people in need of scar cover-ups, tattoo cover-ups, and gender-affirming tattoos. We have 21 participants who have applied to get tattooed and are looking to raise funds to cover the supply costs for the 6 tattoo artists who are donating their time, skills, and labor for free during this event.

Being able to meet our goal will mean covering our setup costs so that we aren’t paying for them out of our own pocket on top of tattooing for free all day. Our goal is to try to make this event a success so that we can do it again in the future! Any amount donated above our goal will go towards a future charity tattoo event. We will also be accepting cash donations at our shop and can provide a receipt for cash donations upon request.
