“Still Not Asking For It” PAINTED LOTUS FLASH EVENT

SATURDAY, JUNE 5 to SATURDAY, JUNE 12

“Still Not Asking For It” is a worldwide tattoo flash fundraiser aiming to work towards awareness, prevention & recovery from sexual assault and rape.  We are working to create and embrace a supportive and healing community in an industry that has been quiet for far too long.
100% of proceeds from this event will go to Victoria Sexual Assault Centre

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who helped raise $10,236.00 for Victoria Sexual Assault Centre!

 1.  Silent Flash Auction: NOW CLOSED!

  • Bidding opens Sat, June 5 and closes Sat, June 12 @ 5pm PST
    • any bids placed after 5pm PST on June 12 will not be counted.
  • Auctions will be held via artist instagram accounts (individually linked above)
    • Pay attention to the individual auction rules!  Each artist is running their own tattoo auction and details may vary.  What is written on their auction post goes!
  • Only Vancouver Island residents may bid (due to our current shop COVID policy)
  • Flash pieces are ONE-OFFs!
    • This is NOT a flash day like the past, this is a silent auction for a SINGLE flash piece.  It will be tattooed only once onto the winner of the auction.
  • Comment on the flash post to bid
  • Highest bid at closing wins the tattoo flash piece!
