Charity fund raising day

Good Friends of Michael Rose, Paul & Carly from Evolution Tattoo in Oxford had a baby boy late last year and sadly had some complications. Thankfully everything is OK now and they have a healthy baby boy called Presley-Ray. Paul & Carly want to help raise cash for the John Radcliffe Childrens Hospital to help continue their amazing work. Whilst they were in there all the staff from the surgeons to the ward nurses were absolutely amazing, which is why they want to hold a charity fund raising day.

They plan to hold this on the 27th of February 2011 at Evolution Tattoo.

On the day they are planning to have as many artists tattooing on customers as possible. Also a few bands later on in the day there will be an auction and raffles. Any other ideas to raise some more cash are more than welcome!

They are just asking for people to donate any amount they wish from the day to go towards the charity.

They have spoken to Neil at Tattoo Revolution magazine who is going to kindly put a write up in the magazine and donate towards the raffle.

They are not trying to promote the studio in any way whilst doing this, it is completely all to do with raising as much cash as possible for the children’s hospital.

If you need to contact them at all please call Evolution Tattoo studio on 01865 375085, and like they said any other ideas are more than welcome.

Michael said that he would like to buy the skull back for charity but he has already come up against competition by others who said that when the auctions start they would be trying to out bid him for the Mr Skull Head. Organiser Lisa is raising money this year for the charity Rise. Rise is a charity which supports women, children and young people affected by domestic abuse in Brighton & Hove and across West Sussex… I’m sure you’ll all agree a truly worthy cause.

The Sugar Project 2011
Michael Rose has been invited this year to take part in the Sugar Project by organiser Lisa.This year The Sugar Project is hoping to support Brighton’s women’s refuge; Rise. Rise is a charity which supports women, children and young people affected by domestic abuse in Brighton & Hove and across West Sussex… I’m sure you’ll all agree a truly worthy cause. To take part in the sugar project 70 incredible tattooists and some of the most respected names in the tattoo community brought together with some up-and-coming artists of the future. Each artist is given a basic skull which they paint, sculpt and craft however their imagination drives them… the results are truly inspiring. The Sugar Project skulls are then auctioned hourly on Ebay over the period of a week starting March 1st 2011 and all profits are donated to that years chosen charity. The Sugar Project was created in memory of Lisa’s father. Inspired by the Mexican festival “El Dia de los Muertos, to celebrate his life and give back to the hospice that cared for him before he died; with thanks to the participating artists, sponsors and those who generously bid, the Woking Hospice received nearly £6,000.
