FDKK goes Ireland

FDKK  stands for : “ Fuck the fucking cancer” at least I think that translates best. In Dutch it would be “ Fuck die kut kanker”.

On Edge piercing and tattoo shop in The Hague, the Netherlands, started a cancer fundraiser after one of their friends (Christel) discovered she has esophageal cancer. They got the letters FDKK together with an anchor tattooed as a symbol of hope. They decided to tattoo either the letters together with the anchor or the letters on its own for a minimal donation of €20,-.  Donations go to “No Guts No Glory” and “Stichting Droomdag”. Two amazing charity’s.

So far 185 tattoos (in On Edge alone) have been tattooed and probably 100s of t-shirts have been sold.  Also people have just donated money without getting a tattoo or t-shirt! Their total donation now is €13605,-.

They are the only shop in The Hague but there are other shops in Rotterdam (Queen of Rings and Blue Hawaii) and Baarle-Nassau (The Wretched Tattoo) who will also tattoo the FDKK tattoo.

Now for people like myself who live abroad but who would still like to contribute there is “Normal Gets You Nowhere”, they will send over the FDKK t-shirts. Payment is for yourself of course.

I always thought this tattoo shop was great but seeing what they would do for their friend and all other people fighting cancer, they are just that little bit more amazing than any other tattoo shop.

If you are interested in following the whole event, donating money, getting yourself an awesome t-shirt/tattoo please find their Facebook below.
