Story of the Free Tattoo
Me and my fiancée wanted to do something to show our support for New York. Kris (my fiancée) heard on a local radio station (KOOL 94.3) that there was a local tattoo studio (Addictions Tattoo - Midway City, CA) that was having an American flag day, where you could get free tattoos and the money from the tattoos (Value of $100 each) would go to the Red Cross to help the victims.

We waited in line for over eight hours to get our tattoos. They thought only a couple people would come out over 50 came to show their support and this is the tattoo I chose. (There were 5 to choose from) It means a lot to me, one reason being that this is my first tattoo and it shows how much this country means to me.

Me and my fiancée were in a photo in the Orange County register waiting in line for the tats it was a really cool experience; so many different people there from the old to the young - every color, gender, you name it. Thank you for this chance to show my tat.
