This March, Alchemy Tattoo Collective is hosting Not Just Luck: Tattoos for a Cause, a three-week event blending creativity and action. Through symbolic tattoos representing luck, justice, and equality, we'll raise funds for the ACLU of Missouri, an organization fighting to protect civil liberties across the state.

💥 Plus, participants will have a chance to win from over $2,000 in tattoo gift cards, merchandise, and other exciting prizes!

Ink That Stands for Justice

Throughout history, people have carried symbols of luck and protection, believing they could shape their fate. But real change isn’t left to chance—it’s created through action. This event is about taking the power of symbolism and using it as a declaration—turning ink into a force for justice and equality. Every tattoo from this event is a stand for justice. By participating, you’re directly supporting ACLU of Missouri, an organization working tirelessly to protect civil liberties, voter rights, LGBTQ+ protections, and reproductive freedom throughout the state.
