Iron Brush, Charity and Free Tattoos | Video

video by Chris Jonak | words by Michael Todd

Tyson Schaffert wanted to celebrate his tattoo shop's anniversary for a reason. Iron Brush Tattoo was turning 10, and Schaffert wanted to give back to the community that had helped his business grow to what it was. And so, he and his tattoo artists offered free tattoos for their patrons.

But that's not all. With each tattoo, Community Action of Lancaster and Saunders Counties would receive $20 in donations. As even more folks came in and gave without getting a tattoo back, the benefit turned into a success.

Watch this video wrap-up, with music by The Killigans, featuring an interview with Schaffert and coverage of the event.
