2nd Annual Daffodil Place Benefit

dave — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:19:50 +0000

It takes a while to wrap something like the Daffodil Place fundraiser up. So many tattoos, so much organization and so many emotions fill a project like this it usually takes a few weeks to settle everything post the actual event. This years February 11 Daffodil Place Tattoo Marathon Benefit was a great success; raising $8350 and fuelling the fire for greater things to come. TBS would like to thanks DAVID’S TEA, all our clients, supporters, the media for coverage and the absolutely amazing staff of The Daffodil Place!

We will be back again next year and we will make this bigger and better each time. That is a promise!

I will leave you with one thought – We do this because our government is not! Make demands on your MP’s to fund our healthcare facilities!

So if you had the misfortune of missing it, Dave was on CBC phone in show, Cross Talk with Ramona Dearing on Monday, March 26th at noon. The topics covered the board from him being awesome (no one saw that coming and the CBC is suspicious that it may have been staged) to health care issues. If you would like to here the outcome of an hour of unprompted radio with the very small brain behind the TBS helm please follow this link: http://www.cbc.ca/radionoonnl/

Thanks to Ramona and all the staff from the CBC for allowing Dave access to the general public

Dave in Sydney, Australia!

dave — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 15:19:17 +0000

Dave will be heading back to Sydney, Australia again this March. He’ll be doing a guest spot at the incredible 119 Tattoo in Bondi Junction area of Sydney from March 5-8 and then returning to the 4th Annual Sydney Tattoo & Body Arts Festival March 9-11. Last year’s convention was amazing, over 400 tattooists and 20000 people in attendance. The calibre of tattoo talent that is this event draws is rivalled by very few conventions in the world; if your in that neck of the world you should make your way to Sydney Olympic Park for the event -you will be impressed!

Dave does have a few spots available for tattoos at the convention, if you are interested please get in touch with the TBS to make arrangements.

To book time with Dave for his guest spot at 119 Tattoo please contact 119

Post 2nd Annual Daffodil Place Benefit

dave — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 14:45:29 +0000

I must start this with a huge thanks to all that were involved with our 2nd Annual Daffodil Place Benefit. My incredible staff, Family and Friends, David’s Tea for their beverages incredible and to all those that brought us food and ample baked goods that kept us running all day long. Everyone who helped us through various social media formats (those were really the people who provided the greatest push for information on the event) to spread the word of the event, the CBC and The Telegram. Without all of this help and support the whirlwind that hits TBS on Feb 11 could not be possible. Humbly… THANK YOU!

Much like the first year, we were hit with a giant wall of request for cancer ribbons tattoos. Time for the event booked very quickly and we have even put a large number of people on the list for next years event already. At the end of the day we did 61 Cancer Ribbon Tattoos, sold out of 3 of my (Dave’s) prints, moved roughly 40 shirts and had a ton of donations made on line and in person; bringing the net donation to $8350.oo! We raised $1625 more then our first year and bringing the two year total raised by TBS to $15075!

All in all an incredible day…. next year we will make this even bigger!

FUCK CANCER!

2nd Daffodil Place Fundraiser

dave — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:25:54 +0000

It’s time for the 2nd Annual Daffodil Place Cancer Ribbon Tattoo Fundraiser! Once again TBS will be offering 2″ or smaller cancer ribbons for $100 to help raise money for Daffodil Place in St. John’s. Daffodil Place is a family care facility to help people from outside St. John’s who are coming into the city for Cancer care, The facility provides 24 rooms for families to stay in during treatment as well as: Transportation, Food, Counselling and Advocacy. The facility is an incredible aid for those going through treatment and a corner stone to many on the path to beating Cancer and the people who work there are absolutely inspiring.

Last year we managed to raise $6725.00 by doing 63 Cancer Ribbon Tattoos as well as money donated from the sale of any TBS Merch during the day of the event. We hope to break that record this year…. but it won’t be easy. We had to turn away nearly 150 people do to time limitations and physical capacity but we are going to push those boundaries and see where we get to. If you would like to be Tattooed please call down to the studio ( 709 754 5590) and have your name put on the list to get tattooed. A week before the event we will be getting in touch with people to book their times. If your interested call sooner rather then latter because time is limited despite our attempts to break our own wrists.

Welcome to 2012!
