POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Wild couple of weeks leading up to last Friday.

In September, @decoraterstattoo came to Project Onward and created a mural that was essentially a giant flash sheet of the artists’ work as part of the exhibit “Forever Yours”.

On Friday October 16th, they set up again in Project Onward this time to tattoo people as a fundraiser with 100% of proceeds to the studio. Their dedication and tattooing back to back for 5 hours was incredible to say the least. What a crew to pull through @postinbond @st.fermin @pleasuresnterrors @ed.riv @shannonhulltatu

@oddballmarket Saturday to fundraise, Sunday flash benefit day hosted at @evoketattoos by @caitlindrakemckay with Marci, and Ricki, and @alex__basler who held a raffle to fundraise and bring an eventful week to an end.

It’s crazy to think about how at least 40 people are now walking around with something permanent on their body to support. And even more now know the incredible work everyone does. The response was so positive, everyone was excited, it’s everything the artists deserve, and it’s possible because of such a great community.

Can’t say thank you enough. So glad to have been able to work alongside everyone and to see this all come together.
Thank you so much for supporting the artists at Project Onward.
