  • Pay It Forward Program

    The Pay It Forward program is a special initiative during our Texas Tough event that allows our community to directly support Sandy Creek flood survivors and families who lost loved ones. Through this fund, anyone can contribute—whether or not they’re getting tattooed themselves—to gift a custom memorial tattoo to someone affected by the floods. Check out more info below on this program!

  • Supply Drive

    We’re also collecting much-needed supplies for flood-impacted families. Bring your donations to the studio during business hours—see the list of requested items below.

“As lifelong Texans, we know how strong and supportive our community can be. The recent floods in Sandy Creek have left many families in need, and we want to give back through our art. Every tattoo, donation, and supply helps our neighbors rebuild and remember that we’re Texas Tough—together.”

    • Donate Any Amount:

      1. At the event, online, or in-person, you can contribute any dollar amount to the Texas Tough Tattoo Fund.

        • Donations can be as small or as large as you wish—every bit helps!

      2. What Your Donation Does:

        • Donations are pooled together to create “tattoo credits” for eligible Sandy Creek survivors or bereaved family members.

        • Each credit covers the cost of a custom memorial tattoo, including design and session fees, so the recipient pays nothing out of pocket.

      3. How Recipients Are Chosen:

        • We’ll work with local relief organizations, churches, and community leaders to identify individuals and families who have lost loved ones or have been deeply impacted by the floods.

        • Survivors and families can also reach out directly or be nominated by friends and neighbors.

      4. No Expiration, No Pressure:

        • Recipients can redeem their tattoo credit whenever they feel ready—whether it’s during the event, weeks, or even a year later.

        • Healing takes time, and we want this gift to be available when it matters most.

      5. How Redemption Works:

        • Recipients receive a personalized certificate or code, along with instructions on how to book their session.

        • When they’re ready, they simply contact Austin Texas Tattoos to schedule their custom memorial tattoo.

      6. Transparency & Updates:

        • We’ll keep a secure, confidential record of all donations and redemptions.

        • After the event, we’ll share stories (with permission) and updates on how many people received tattoos thanks to the community’s generosity.

    • Why Pay It Forward Matters:
      For many people, tattoos are a powerful way to honor loved ones, mark survival, and reclaim a sense of strength after tragedy. Your donation not only covers the cost of a beautiful, meaningful tattoo—it also sends a message of hope, solidarity, and Texas-sized compassion.
