Tattoos to raise cash for cancer charity

A TATTOO parlour in Melksham will be doing their bit for Breast Cancer Awareness Month when they donate all the proceeds made from three designs to charity.

South of Heaven, in Church Street, has designed three tattoos based on the Breast Cancer Care pink ribbon, which start from £30.

Kelly Oram, who works at the shop, was inspired to do something after a friend of hers lost an aunt to breast cancer.

“All the money we make from the designs will go to the charity and I have someone booked in already that is going to have three ribbon tattoos, I think to represent members of their family,” she said.

“I think it’s nice to do something like this for such a good cause. People can choose one of the designs or ask for a more elaborate version and pay, but they need to book first.”

Anyone interested in viewing the designs can visit the shop’s Myspace site at www.myspace.com/south_of_heaven_13 or call for a booking on 01225 793111.
