A McAllen tattoo parlor is doing its part to help support Australia after devastating bushfires across the country.

Eric Soto, Owner and Artist of The Ink Elephant, said his shop will offer $40 Australia-related tattoos, and the funds will be donated to the WIRES Australian Wildlife Rescue Organization.

“We like doing this kind of stuff, we like giving back to the community and those in need,” said Soto. “We’ve done things like this in the past where we’ve helped donate toys to children in need and orphanages, we want to continue doing that in the future. I think it’s a really great thing to have a positive impact on the community and give back.”



The fundraiser takes place on Friday from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m., first-come, first-serve.
