A TATTOO shop in York is to fundraise in a special way for Breast Cancer Awareness Month – by offering pink ribbon tattoos.

The tattoos, which will cost £25, with all money going to charity, will be the highlight of Killer INKstinct’s charity day next Saturday.

The shop in Burton Stone Lane, Clifton, will also be selling pink cupcakes and holding a collection.

The shop, which opened in May, has already completed several pink ribbon tattoos.

Tattooist Darren Tillett said following an experience with a woman suffering from breast cancer who asked for a pink ribbon tattoo, and told him having that tattoo would give her the strength to continue with her treatment, he wanted to roll the idea out on a larger scale.

Seventeen people were yesterday listed as attending on the Facebook page for the event.
