Restore Austin Ink
Donation protected
As most of you know, Austin Ink was broken into yesterday, Thursday June 18th. While the person who did this was caught and apprehended, there are still many significant losses and uncertainties. Most of the equipment that was stolen was recovered, as it was stashed behind the shop, but everything that was taken needs to be cataloged by the OCPD and the shop still needs to be finger printed and thoroughly sanitized and scrubbed down. All new equipment needs to be purchased; from machines and ink down to paper towels and gloves.
The Austin Ink crew has been out of work for months due to the COVID-19 pandemic and had just gotten back to work, and now are set back once again. The insurance on the shop does not cover anything that was lost and the restitution that will have to be paid will not be seen for a long time. Nex, Ric, and Jonathan all have families to take care of and these last few months were difficult enough without yet another set back.
Yesterday you all came together as a community to bring justice to the criminal responsible and make sure he was known and quickly apprehended. Now let's help Austin Ink get back to business as usual. I don't know about y'all, but I'm ready for some new beautiful ink and am ready to be back on their chairs!
Anything helps.
