Do you love animals and ink?
Then you’ll probably enjoy the Tats for Tails event happening at Think Tank Tattoo, 172 S. Broadway, this Saturday, June 28, from noon to 6 p.m.
At this one-day fundraiser for the Denver Animal Shelter, you can donate $200 and choose from more than 100 animal-themed flash tattoo designs.
Last year, crowds wrapped the block, and Tats for Tails raised $12,000 for homeless pets. The shelter is hoping for more in 2025.
The city shelter takes in 10,000 animals a year, 24/7. Unlike other shelters, DAS takes in all animals “regardless of space available, age, breed, health, behavior or physical condition,” the shelter explained in a statement.
Some of the tattoos are cute. Others are forlorn. Some are plain old Disney-style cartoony.
“This event is such a fun way to show off your love for animals while giving back to the shelter,” said shelter director Melanie Sobel, in a statement. “Plus, you walk away with a permanent reminder of the difference you made.”
This cash-only event is first-come, first-served.
While you wait, you can enjoy food from The Brutal Poodle and lemonade from Exsqueezeme.
All the proceeds from the tattoos go to the shelter.
