Yesterday CBS LA’s Sports Central stopped by Vans Off the Wall Skatepark in Huntington Beach to talk with Zach Sales, founder of @officialmilitaryskate , and our team ahead of the Nov. 21 Veterans Celebration. Zach talked about how skating brings active-duty service members and veterans together. We talked about how tattooing gives veterans a way to tell their stories, and how finding a community after getting out can help you find purpose again. That’s what Nov. 21 is all about 👊 📍 Vans Off the Wall Skatepark, Huntington Beach 🗓 Saturday, Nov. 21 · 5–10 p.m. 🎟 Open to the public. All proceeds benefit Veteran Ink. Link in bio for tickets We’ll share the full story as soon as CBS lets us know when the story airs! #VeteranInk #OfficialMilitarySkate #VeteransDay #TattoosHeal by @veteranink
Three veterans. Three stories. Hours in the chair, vet to vet. Jon Wechter (2/75 Ranger Battalion), Joe Churchville (US Army Sniper) and Tim Speer (Navy SEAL) sat down with fellow veterans who happen to be some of the best tattoo artists in the game: Ink Master Season 3 winner Joey Hamilton of Revolt Tattoo, and Thakuya of Goodlife Tattoo. Somewhere between the needle and the conversation, the stuff most guys never say out loud finally came out. The deployments. The brothers they lost. The years after they got out. The ink is just proof the story got told. 🎥 THE STORIES BEHIND THE INK, Episode 1, is streaming now. Link in bio. 100% of donations go directly to the Ink Fund, which pays for veteran tattoo sessions. Tattoos heal. Stories matter. Veterans inspire. #VeteranInk #BehindTheInk #Veterans #TattooTherapy #VeteranTattoo #MilitaryTattoo #VeteransSupportingVeterans #InkMaster #ArmyRanger #NavySEAL by @veteranink
