The shop did a total of 70 tattoos on the same number of individuals for the Toys for Tats toy-drive. Brought in 199 toys and 11 gift cards. Tons of treats were dropped off to fuel the crew as well. So thank you all and some kids had better holidays because of you.

Hopefully we can rock the same thing next year. It went quite smooth and we would say, it was quite successful. We'll keep you all posted.

Thanks all you crazy kids!

Help give the kids of the Lower Mainland a gift for Christmas and get a permanent keepsake!

The crew of Port Side Tattoo Collective at 1685 Davie Street in the West End will be donating the...ir time and talent on Saturday December 17th for a fun toy drive in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau. We are offering tattoos in exchange for toy donations for kids in need. We're asking you folks to bring in unwrapped toys of at least $40 in total value accompanied with a receipt. In exchange you will be able to choose from over 100 tattoo designs, many created specifically for this occasion, and have it tattooed by one of the Port Side artists. Doors will be open at noon and Nick Wasko, Geoff McCann, Pat Berube, and Trish Bevz will be tattooing on a first come first serve basis until they completely run out of steam. It is recommended for gift bearers to make their way to the shop as early as possible to get on the list in order to avoid disappointment!
