Black 13 Tattoo Parlor inked pink with their third annual event held in October, raising $14,500 to support Nashville’s own Women Rock For The Cure (WRFTC). On Tuesday (Dec. 15), the tattoo parlor staff presented a check to Women Rock For The Cure to help fund the organization’s outreach initiatives, including the annual Young Survivors Retreat, which helps to connect and support young women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Black 13’s annual family friendly live event is based around the arts to support those living with cancer. The day-long event featured the shop’s talented artists tattooing pre-designed art with 100% percent of the proceeds donated to Women Rock For The Cure. This year the festivities also included music performances by Kyle Andrews, Mr. Steve The Music Man, Elise Davis, Jace Everett, Kylie Rothfield, Caroline Spence and Josh Farrow as well as local goods from Hail Dark Aesthetics, Wild Earth Apothecary, Paisley Red, Music City Glass Works, DonutloverrVintage, Oh Just Dandy and Polar Opposite Vintage. Black 13 has raised over $39,500 for local charities in the past three years.
