The concept of a charity tattoo occasion referred to as “say what’s in your coronary heart” popped into my head once I was pondering of my dad. I wished a tattoo design and day to centre round my shoppers selecting a coronary heart body and having one thing private written inside.
The charity meant rather a lot to me and my household as my dad spent his previous few days, earlier than he handed away on 14th Could 2017 beneath the care of the medical doctors and nurses at St. Luke’s Plymouth. They have been so caring {and professional} and made his final days snug. Additionally they sorted us emotionally, I can’t thank them sufficient.
Each penny counts to assist with such an incredible trigger so I wished to do my bit and lift some consciousness. The concept of the tattoo flash day was tremendous fashionable and I stuffed my day inside a number of hours. I did 11 tattoos in complete. It was a very profitable, with a number of cute and significant tattoos, and all proceeds went to the charity.
Ultimately we will all relate to shedding somebody to most cancers and it was such a pleasure to see the grins on my shoppers faces with their completed tattoos The entire day was constructive and a variety of enjoyable and I used to be so happy to lift £800 in support of my father’s reminiscence.
