Rob McGill and the team at Forever Inked Tattoos in Willowbrook are gearing up for a Spook Tattoolar Halloween event aimed at helping sick kids.
They鈥檙e setting up a 鈥渇lash tattoo event鈥 on Saturday, Oct. 29, where customers can select from pre-drawn tattoo designs for a minimum donation of $60, all proceeds going to the BC Children鈥檚 Hospital.
The tattoos are all black and grey with choice of one colour, sized as is between two to four inches in diametre.
It鈥檚 only expected to take the artists about 20 minutes to complete, and while the Forever Inked team is book some appointments between 10 a.m. and noon, the rest of the day is on a first-come, first-serve basis until 7 p.m.
鈥淲e anticipate a large turnout,鈥 said artist Jolene Harrison, who noted everyone is limited to one tattoo only the day.
One of the frequently asked questions is, 鈥淲ill it hurt?鈥
Harrison responded with a resounding: 鈥淵up! But it鈥檚 for the kids.
鈥淥n a normal business day, the minimum fee for a tattoo of that size would be about $100. The discounted rate is our effort in contributing to the BC Children鈥檚 Hospital and our community, while giving people an awesome fun tattoo!鈥
Any questions or bookings can be done in person or by calling the shop in advance at 604-427-4657. Morning spaces are limited, and booking up fast, Harrison noted.
