Take two for tattoo fundraiser

By Lachlan Ellis

After a successful event in 2022, a local tattoo parlour is again running a ‘Flash Day’ this Good Friday, with all proceeds going to the Good Friday Appeal.

Disciples of Ink in Bacchus Marsh ran its first Flash Day in 2022, with owner and operator Kieran Tyrrell hopeful of raising “$2,000 or more”.

But the event raised close to $7,000, which Mr Tyrrell is hopeful of surpassing on 7 April this year.

“We’ll have set designs people can choose from priced between $100 and $200, and what we’ll be tattooing will be what’s shown on the wall. All the money raised, and all our time, is donated to the kids,” he told the Moorabool News.

“We were stoked to get to where we got to last year, and we’re hoping to do the same this year, maybe even raise more. We’ve got three artists this year. It’ll be first come first served, with a limited number of tickets. We’ll be cutting it off once we reach around 60, from there we’ll see how we go, but that’s our target.”

If you’ve been considering getting a tattoo, this Good Friday is the perfect opportunity. Designs for the Flash Day are still in the works, but will be put up on Disciples of Ink’s wall closer to Good Friday.
