In 2024, Inkblot Studio partnered with Dog-Eared Books to run a fundraiser to comabt book banning in Iowa. We had so much fun that we’re back, better than ever, and have more artists donating their time and talents to raise money for reproductive healthcare access in Iowa.
Designs are repeatable, and cost from $60-$150 dollars donated to one of the selected organizations. Tipping your artist is appreciated.
Inkblot Studio and artists at Heroic Ink have created a selection of walk-in tattoo designs. However, the flash tattoo event is about more than just getting inked: it’s about fighting for equitable access to reproductive healthcare in the state that we call home.
For those who would like to donate and participate but don’t want the commitment of a permanent tattoo, we will have stickers available at the store, from which proceeds will be donated to the listed organizations.
Tattoos are first come, first serve. Participants must be 18+.
Need something to do while you’re waiting for your tattoo? Family Planning Council of Iowa will be at Dog-Eared Books hosting a letter-writing campaign to remind our representatives what Iowans really want: fair, equitable access to reproductive healthcare.
Check our social media for a sneak peak of designs!
