For R150 you’re getting theatre, acrobatics & a family experience
The 2014 Cape Town Tattoo-a-thon is poised to go international on Friday, 6 June 2014 to raise funds for the CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA after a successful 2012 inaugural event and a knock-out follow-up episode on the local front gained global recognition.
Now in its third year, the annual ink-fest is expanding its reach to Europe, where charitable ink-lovers can add to their growing collections and join in the crusade to fight childhood cancer at satellite studios across the continent.
Back home, the Tattoo-a-thon now boasts a growing number of participating tattoo parlours (48 and counting) in nine cities in major provinces around South Africa.
While the hope is to unite ink-lovers to raise much-needed funds to aid the non-profit organisation, project coordinator Jordan Gray explains that a core aim of the event is also to raise awareness about childhood cancer.
In its inaugural year the one-day body art drive managed to raise R70, 000; in 2013, after Johannesburg and Durban got on board, the Tattoo-a-thon made R250, 000; and this year, the tattoo marathon aims to beat its previous records and raise R750, 000.
