ODESSA, Texas (KOSA) – For the final seven years, Black Cat Tattoo Co. has hosted the Toys for Tattoos drive.
It’s a means for Black Cat Tattoo Co. to provide again to the neighborhood
“We started because our business is based on the community and without the community we wouldn’t have a business now also being apart of the art community we are a big part of the art community so we want to make sure to do our part and help the community as best as we can,” mentioned Edgar Armendariz, Owner of Black Cat Tattoo Co.
Edgar is initially from Los Angeles and since transferring right here and beginning this toy drive he has been amazed by the neighborhood’s generosity throughout the vacation season.
“Believe it or not you’ll even have people bring in multiple toys and they just don’t want the 40-dollar credit but are glad even to help out. They’ll even bring in a toy that’s worth more than 20 dollars and they’re fine with the 40-dollar credit. So that means a lot to us” mentioned Armendariz
Black Cat Tattoo every year averages between 50-100 items dropped off by locals however they’re all the time in search of extra.
And this 12 months is not any completely different.
Oliver Gray is initially from New Mexico however since transferring right here has seen firsthand how the neighborhood can come collectively and assist each other.
“I’m not originally from Odessa so it’s been nice to grow with this community and be able to plant my feet here and get to know the people who are doing these things and then be involved as well,” mentioned Oliver Gray, Dropped off toys for Toys for Tattoos
