Toys for Tats


What is it?
This event is our annual toy drive event held at the shop. In addition to a day of fun-filled tattoos, we are hosting a holiday "Maker's Market" on our patio for those who may want to pick something extra up for themselves or their loved ones. Our resident tattooers along with others talented artists in our community come together for this day of giving. THIS IS ALL POSSIBLE VIA THE VOLUNTEERS (artists & support staff). See our social media post for a tagged list of vendors and artists that will be joining us for 2025!
When is this event?

**The cut-off usually happens around 3pm due to the overwhelming & amazing turn-out, so come early and sign in! We will post updates to our social media - please give us a follow.
How does it work?
Bring a new & unwrapped toy with receipt of purchase for $50 or more and get a free tattoo from the pre-drawn designs ("flash"). The event flash will be posted to our social media a few days prior to the event - please follow us and those who support this event for updates!
Where do the donations go?
All donations are directly given to Celebration Nation. This non-profit organization is unwavering in their dedication to serving, educating, and empowering the Indigenous Latino community across California. We are hoping your support will provide low-income and vulnerable families the joy of Christmas when they may not be able to.
This is a charity event and everyone here is donating their talent, time, and supplies. Please read below so you know what to prepare for ahead of time:
1. No deals: bring as many toys as you want but you will only get ONE free tattoo
2. Arms and legs for tattoo placement ONLY
3. No artwork adjustments: we will not add a name, change the image slightly or enlarge/decrease the size
4. First come, first serve: no appointments are being accepted for this event
5. The tattooers are volunteering their time and talent for charity and tips are greatly appreciated
