No Cherry Blossom Left Behind: The End!!!

On Friday May 13th, 2011 Saving Grace Tattoo held a fundraiser to benefit those affected in Japan by the recent Earthquake/Tsunami.

To our great satisfication we had a blast and are happy to say that we raised $1,055.00, not bad for one tattooer, which will all be going to the Red Cross of Canada "Japan Earthquake/Asia-Pacific Tsunami" relief fund.  Check them out, they are doing awesome work!

During the course of the day people got their first tattoo ever,

some not so,

and everybody tipped a cup to the cause!

In all I definitely need to thank my wife Kim for keeping everybody in check, yeah that's her, classy lady eh!

Of course there's Sidni, the lady behind the camera...there you are!  Uhmm, she's also classy.

 

Last but not least, Eikon Device for providing disposables, Barefoot Wine for the amazing vino, Kokkino Cafe for keeping us wired with java, CUTV and TOAL for all the promo, Dave Allen at Tattooers for Japan (TFJ), for promoting such a worthwhile cause, and to all the people of Japan for their tenacity during such a difficult period.

If there is anybody out there that still hasn't made a contribution please do so, every dollar helps, I mean even a loonie, through the IRC.

Peace and don't forget to check out the TFJ website often for events being held in your city!

JAPAN LOVES YOU!!!

Alex K'eh

Some recently finished tattoos...yeah!

Death!!!!  And a Leprechaun.  A tattoo two years in the making...thanks Sean!

Started this one last year at the NIX convention in Toronto.  Mike is as rocks solid a sitter as they come.

Emily's Quatzal.  Finished this one last week I think...or maybe the week before...time is a blur!

Japan Relief!

Saving Grace Tattoo is bringing in spring with CHERRY BLOSSOMS, to show our support for the people of Japan in the midst of one of their most trying times, and as a thank you to close friends and all the usual suspects.

We are tattooing Japanese cherry blossoms at $30 each all day. Come and get it, or just drop by and hang out to add some more luck and support.
Beers, snacks, bullshit, tattoos, and mad good vibes will be provided (batteries not included... ha ha).

All tattoo proceeds will be donated to the Japan Earthquake/Asia-Pacific Tsunami relief fund through the Canadian Red Cross. Check out details of their disaster relief efforts here:

Canadian Red Cross Japan Earthquake/Asia-Pacific Tsunami Relief

We extend our deepest sympathies to Japan and we certainly hope to see you all on the 13th...

Weekend Corner

Hi All!

My first post will be short and to the point.  The week has been awesome, and I'm just waiting for the last appointment of the week to show up, so in the mean time I thought I'd throw in an update.

I am blessed beyond belief to have my good friend Sidni officially on-board with the shop.  She is totally awesome!  You'll find her hanging out, doing pretty much everything that involves managing a shop, and being her usual amazing self.  THANKS AGAIN SID!

I don't have any pics to post right now but they are soon on their way.  The shop has been super busy, thanks to all of you, of which I appreciate.

In the mean time enjoy your week while my weekend begins, right after tattooing Emily's Quatzal that is, and stay tuned!

Later,  Alex K'eh
