People in Thunder Bay, Ont., gave back this weekend to their community in an unconventional way — through the power of ink.
Katie McQueston is a tattoo artist and does regular fundraisers at her shop in Toronto, Ten of Cups Tattoo. McQueston said having a tattoo fundraiser is great because it doesn't require a huge amount of organizing — it's just artists using their time and skills to give back. Briar heard about the fundraiser from one of the artists, and said going to it was perfect way to finish her visit. She got a tattoo of a moon and a bunny, representing her name and her fiancé.
Suzy Kennedy, who also got inked at Black Sheep Tattoo on Sunday, heard about the fundraiser from McQueston when McQueston tattooed her last week. She feels a tattoo fundraiser is an innovative idea and speaks to the connections community members have with each other.
