Newport piercing boutique, Pin Up Girls, has launched a raffle in support of the local domestic abuse charity, Wight DASH.
A total of 40 prizes, including piercings and products from the boutique, are on offer in the raffle, which is open now until 10th October.
All you need to do to take part is visit the boutique at 42 Lugley Street, Newport. Tickets cost £2 each or 5 for £5. Winners will be drawn from the hat, to be live-streamed on social media, shortly after the closing date.
Wight DASH – formerly the Isle of Wight Women’s Refuge – supports women who are experiencing difficult times in their lives, including domestic abuse, poor mental health, substance misuse, loneliness and isolation.
Emma Melson, the owner of the boutique, has said:
“Domestic abuse is more common than many realise and it’s been on the rise recently through lockdown.
“We all wanted to help raise awareness and funds for IW DASH, the amazing charity that supports people on the Island if they find themselves in an abusive relationship. Charities have suffered through the pandemic as their normal fundraising routes have been limited. We’re very excited to be able to help and with so many fantastic prizes on offer, we hope our customers and friends will be keen to be involved!”
that’s a suspicious looking leaf tattooed on her arm!
And what’s it going to look like when she’s 60 or 70?
With today’s modern inks and tattooing equipment, pretty much the same as it does now
The skin would be the problem I would think.
