Tattoo artists raise over $2k for CCS

By Don Moore

Three Cranbrook tattoo artists raised more than $2,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society on Saturday, June 6.

The three artists (Kya Dubois from Sink N’ Ink Tattoos, Char Brehm from Pin Up Ink, and Debbie Elliott from Black Door Tattoo) offered to do small tattoos for $50 with all proceeds going to the Canadian Cancer Society.

By the event’s start at 10 a.m. a long line had gathered outside Sink N’ Ink Tattoos. Before 2 p.m., all the bookings were filled. The event ran from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Following the day of fundraising, organizer Dubois stated on Facebook, which was used to great effect to inform the public about the event: “What an absolutely incredible, heart-lifting turn out it was today! Think our last count was 56 tattoos and over $2,000 raised! A huge thank you to Char Brehm, Debbie Elliott (pictured above) and Alexa Catlyn for all the hard work and long hours put in today; we rocked it girls and made a difference! Burkey’s Coffee House and Bake Shop deserve a big shout out as well for keep us caffeinated, hydrated, and fed!”
