What a fantastic initiative!
Last year Tattoo-A-Thon raised over R70 000.00. This year they aim to raise R500 000.00 by creating a recording breaking 1000 tattoos in 1 day!
From the Tattoo-A-Thon website –
The project originated out of an education course called the Self Expression & Leadership Program curated by {Landmark Education}, following the Landmark Forum. In order for the participants in the program to graduate, each participant must complete a community-orientated project using the structure taught throughout the program. Jordan Gray took part in this program in 2012 and what turned out to be a cool idea has snowballed into something with a life of its own.
So how does it work?
R700 gets you an hour of ink time and a set size tattoo. The funds raised from the event go directly to {CHOC}. The organisation does not receive funding from government and rely heavily on donations from caring corporates, individuals and parents of children with cancer. Donations and fund raising projects like Tattoo-a-thon are therefore the lifeblood of the organisation.
How do you book?
Contact one of the participating studios in {Jozi}, {Cape Town} or Durban and book your slot. That simple.
