Tattoo Art for Japan auctions

We’ve been talking about Tattoo Art for Japan for a couple months now, but the time has come to auction off the original paintings. Yes, you read that correctly. All of the paintings are currently on eBay, with auctions ending on October 30th. All of the paintings in the Tattoo Art for Japan gallery are linked to the auction.

I’m excited to see how much money these paintings will bring in. With paintings from Chris Garver, Dave Fox, Vicky Morgan, Alex Binnie, Chad Koeplinger, Chris Jany, Dan Sinnes, Kevin LeBlanc, and many more – there’s no doubt this is going to be a huge fund raiser.

Help KC Lange

In the beginning of October, KC Lange was involved in a serious motorcycle accident. While his recovery is going well, it’s obviously going to take a lot of time and be very expensive.
