Event Details

Support the library for an unforgettable day of art, freedom, and community at the Banned Book Flash Fundraiser! Hosted and sponsored by the talented artists at Midgard Tattoo Company and Valkyrie Tattoo Gallery, this unique fundraiser will directly support the Dallas Public Library's mission to promote access to literature for all.

On September 28, from 11 a.m. to 6, we're bringing together the power of ink and the importance of open shelves. Choose from an array of specially designed bookish flash tattoos, some inspired by some of history's most challenged and banned books. From classics that have sparked debate to modern titles that push boundaries, there's a tattoo design for every literary rebel.

How It Works:

  • Flash Tattoos: Select from a variety of pre-drawn designs available exclusively for this event. Iconic banned books and literary themes inspire each design.
  • Pricing:  All flash tattoos will be offered at a special event price. A portion of every tattoo cost will be donated directly to the Dallas Public Library.
  • First-Come, First-Served: This event will be walk-in only, so arrive early to secure your spot! 

In addition to the tattooing, enjoy an afternoon of camaraderie with fellow book lovers, live music, and an opportunity to explore the history of banned books through a fun trivia run by staff from the Dallas Public Library (and sign up for a library card today!). By participating, you'll get a beautiful piece of art and support the library's efforts to ensure everyone in our community has access to a world of knowledge.

Mark your calendar, tell your friends, and get ready to wear your love for literature on your sleeve—literally! This is more than just a tattoo event; it's a celebration of free expression and the power of the written word.

 

A portion of the proceeds go to benefit the Dallas Public Library.
