Impulse tattoos make for the best stories.

And if you’re feeling wild and adventurous and you’d like to help out an excellent cause next weekend, head for the Marina Market, where a pop-up tattoo shop will be inking customers in exchange for a donation to Women’s Aid.

A Tattoo and Piercing Flash Day Pop-Up will be run by female-run tattoo and beauty studio The Ink Collective on Sunday, March 12th, 2023.

With a pre-noon start (get there early to get in line) the rules are simple: walk-ins only, arms and leg tattoos only, ear piercings only.

“The artists, who will be announced in the coming days, will be taking walk-ins all day at the market and it will be kicking off at 11.30am!” a Market spokesperson said.

“Can’t wait to see you all there to support this amazing charity!”

It’s cash only too so make sure you hit the ATM en route to Ballintemple.
