First, this coming week (the week of 12/18/2011), anyone who gets a tattoo will have their entire tip donated to Empty Cages Collective, an animal rescue in Brooklyn that goes above and beyond to rescue animals in need and to help find them safe, loving homes.  I still have a couple of slots available, so if you're interested get in touch with me and we'll set something up.

Second, I am offering this piece of flash at shop minimum to every/anyone who wants it.  The final design actually has a heart at the end of the hilt, as this symbolizes love triumphing over evil.  I originally drew it in support of Occupy Wall Street, which I've been involved in where and when I can be since the beginning of it here in NYC.  I encourage any and everyone to get this tattoo in solidarity, or to post this image up wherever you see fit.  I'll post the modified image with the heart on the hilt, as i think that more accurately depicts the message, as soon as i can.
