The [Sailor Jerry Spiced](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sailor-jerry-tiki-swag-kit) Rum #SupportYourArtist campaign has been launched by the brand in partnership with Kingpin Tattoo Supplies to help get much-needed supplies to artists who need them most. The eight-week-long campaign is being rolled out now until November and will see two to three winners selected each week through one of two methods of nominations. The campaign will see a total of $30,000 worth of supplies provided to [tattoo shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-tattoo), most of which have been forced to close their doors in recent months due to the COVID-19 lockdown.

We want to be there to for the [tattoo artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-of-life) and shops that have always been there for us – as they continue to breathe life into Norman Collin’s flash on a daily basis – with #supportyourartist we strive to honor & support this community…”
