'Why We Ink' is an inspirational cancer-fighting charity that combats the disease with unrelenting passion and a very different sort of approach. The charity is run by independent casting director Jules Fitzsimmons and has become the Artist Project's charity of choice this year.
Cancer affects many of us, if not directly then indirectly. The ruthless disease has been fought tirelessly for as long as anyone can remember and some have been lost along the way. Why We Ink shows that while lost, these people are not forgotten and the ink on their loved ones is permanent proof.
What started as a book quickly grew into a community and now even celebrities like Bif Naked and Robert Kardashian have come along for the ride, showcasing their commemorative cancer-fighting tattoos.
