Tattooing to Save Babies Charity Event


Hi everyone,

All of us at Graceland Tattoo are gearing up for “Tattooing to Save Babies”. Our good friend Ken Motter has been conducting this charity event for several years now. Krooked Ken is one of the best traditional tattoo artists on the planet. Beyond that, he is such an incredible person. He treats everyone with kindness and respect. He’s a class act and we would be hard pressed to find anyone with a bad word to say about him. When you part ways with Ken you leave feeling great and usually with a smile on your face. Ken himself is afflicted with some health ailments, which have left him “krooked”. I’m not sure what it is, I’ve never asked. But at 5 feet tall he’s a giant to me. I have attached a word document that tells his story and gives some background to the event.
We are donating all the money we make piercing and tattooing on September 22nd to the March of Dimes. We are also starting to ask our clients for donations at the time of their tattoo; just like in the check out line at most stores. In the next few weeks I will begin to solicit other local businesses. I worked closely with the March of Dimes all through high school so I’m really glad to be affiliated with them once again.
I’m asking you to donate to a cause I believe in. However much you feel comfortable giving. Make checks payable directly to March of Dimes.  If you need to have a letter of payment for tax purposes I will figure out how to do that.

Please send your donation to
