# Discount Tattoos for Charity The Toys for Tatts Drive By Cecilia Biemann | Published 2008-12-09 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discount-tattoos-for-charity-toys-for-tatts-drive References: [offbeatink](http://offbeatink.com/articles/save-some-money-help-a-child/) Around the world businesses of all types are doing their bit to make this Christmas a little brighter for families who will be doing it tough this year, and Hank’s Tattoo in Warsaw is a standout example of this. Hank’s Tattoo is offering discount tattoos to all customers who contribute to their [Toys for Tatts Toy Drive](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-ultimate-toy-drive). Clients can bring in a new unwrapped toy to the value of $50 or less, and the parlor will double this price of the toy and apply that value as a discount on their tattoo. So if the customer brings in a toy valued at $20, then they will get $40 off their tattoo cost. According to the owner of Hank’s Tattoo, Hank Hernandez, families who receive the toys are recommended by customers, and they will also receive two pizzas from [Pizza Hut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-hut-shop), and a bag of homemade goodies. Making the whole exercise even more fun, Hernandez’s brother-in-law, Rick Bradley, will be dressing up like Santa and delivering the toys with Hernandez, and several other family members, on Christmas Eve. This is a very nice example of grassroots charity within a local community. A big thumbs up to Hank’s Tattoo and all the businesses who are making an effort to help others this Christmas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Grassroots Charity:** Opportunity for more businesses to engage in charitable activities within their local communities through innovative techniques. - **Discount Promotion:** Opportunity for businesses to attract customers and support charitable causes through offering promotions similar to the Toys for Tatts Drive. - **Collaborative Charity:** Opportunity for businesses to collaborate with other companies or individuals to support charitable causes and increase their impact. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Tattoo Parlors:** Tattoo parlors can offer similar discount promotions to support their local communities and attract customers. - **Pizza Restaurants:** Pizza restaurants can collaborate with other businesses to support charitable causes and help increase their visibility in the community. - **Toy Stores:** Toy stores can collaborate with other businesses or provide their own discount promotions to encourage customers to donate to charitable causes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transformative Survivor Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-of-life.md) - [In-Store Tattoo Parlors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-tattoo.md) - [Unusual Food Tattoo Challenges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omaha-steak.md) - [Supermarket Temporary Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialbuy-temporary-tattoos.md) - [Hotel-Friendly Tattoo Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-popup.md) - [Charitable Christmas Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crackers-cracking-hunger.md) - [Seasonal Social Good Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-eat-and-teenage-cancer-trust.md) - [Scannable Tattoo Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whopper-tattoo.md) - [Cheeky Tattoo Marathons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-marathon.md)
