Calling all San Francisco tattoo studios!

This holiday season, we’re partnering with local shops to bring joy to kids in need — and give tattoo artists a chance to do some good and bring new clients through the door.

Tattoo studios across San Francisco are invited to host a Toy Drive between November 18th and December 23rd in support of the San Francisco Firefighters Toy Program — the nation’s oldest (and largest) firefighter-run toy drive.Studios will receive:

• A toy collection barrel
• A poster for the barrel and a window flyer
• A listing on our website with a direct link to your shop, social media and date and time of your event
• Promotion across local event sites, social media, and news coverage
  ​

Why Join

The holiday season can be slow for tattoo shops — this is a great way to give back and bring in business.

• Community Connection: Show your clients that your studio supports local families.
• New Clients: Many participants visit shops for the first time during these events.
• Increased Sales: Great opportunity to promote gift certificates, merch, and flash designs.
• Positive Publicity: Get featured in our campaign and media coverage.
  
  

How It Works

You choose how you want to run your toy drive event:

• Flash Day Special: Offer $100–$200 flash tattoos when clients bring in a toy.
• Discounted Hourly Rate: Provide a small discount for toy donors.
• Or simply collect toys — every donation helps make a difference.
  
  

Whether it’s one day or a full month of giving, your participation matters.
Every toy collected stays here in San Francisco, helping local kids have a brighter Christmas.
