Save the Arctic and get tattooed
I have been a fan of tattoo artist Grace Neutral for a while now, but her recent antics have made me love her even more.
Yesterday she had the pleasure of meeting the radical women who climbed the shard in London Bridge on a Greenpeace protest. They were protesting against Arctic drilling. The women spent 15 hours climbing to the top of the building, to fly a flag that said ‘Save the Arctic’. The police were waiting at the top to arrest the women.
Yesterday the six protestors were charged and released. And the first thing they did when they got out – they went to see Grace Neutral over at Good Times Tattoo to mark the occasion with a shard tattoo. Fucking awesome.
‘I felt honoured that I got to tattoo a little memorial of their radical day,’ said Grace on Instagram. ‘It was fun to tattoo some hardened criminals, they were just so lovely.’
Two of the women have been tattooed so far, and a few more of them will at a later date. Absolutely love this story.
