Help Cover-Up a Swastika Tattoo!
Donation protected
Hello Everyone,
My name is Warren Royea, though everyone refers to me as Bud. Here's a video that explains what I'm looking to do, and then pics and text below that:
About two years ago I decided to get this tattoo. As a practicing Buddhist, I was very excited because I was able to give an expression that people would feel they should ask about. This piece is meant to represent an eternity of existance . A perpetual lesson, forever and ever.
Well, the lesson learned was that no one respects a swastika, even if it is a spiritual tattoo. It turns out, many people will jump to a conclusion and not ask me about the tattoo. This is causing me all sorts of problems at work and in my social life. I'm tired of people assuming I'm a Nazi.

Please help me cover this thing. For a few hundred dollars I can get it covered with some really nice professional work. Anything above and beyond the cost of the cover-up will go towards the Mindfulness Center that I run here in Keene, NH.
My friend Ian Freeman will be helping me with this fundraiser as he is the one with access to a bank account and helped me shoot the video and photos you see here. We'll update you with a new video once the cover-up work is done!
