New Tattoo Shop Robbed for owners B-Day
Donation protected
After months of hard work, thousands of dollars in loans and investments, young Kitty built herself a tattoo studio, just in time for her 23 birthday.
On the very morning of her 23 birthday, she awoke to her fiance frantically running outside without explanation. He noticed notifications on our security camera at a time of night when there shouldn’t have been such notifications.
Muddy boot print on the door, drawers and cupboards open, debris and containers everywhere, there had been a burglary.
All her tattoo machines and set up stolen, thousands of dollars worth of inks, tubes and needles, priceless hand made art. And of course, the door is fucked.
In addition to this, she had been teaching our friend Graham to tattoo. Her fiance’s lifelong friend and a promising and dedicated artist who had amassed a heck of a following through posting his art daily. Two days ago he gave his two weeks at his part time job at the tourist visitor center so he could fully commit to tattooing.
His machines were also stolen.
Being our first week or so of operation, and new business owners, we had not yet figured out insurance, and so have no coverage for the theft.
We already owe close to 35 000 worth of loans and borrowed money, so relaunching doesn’t look very realistic right now unless we can get some serious help.
To get Kitty’s shop open again we are asking for your help. If you are a fan of Kitty or Graham’s art, and would like to help them get back to work please pledge what you can. Anything helps.
The name of the shop is Holy Crow, but this morning all that crosses our minds is Holy fuck.
Spread the word, if you see any scabs selling
