Niky Brown decided to donate his profit from flash day to two mental health charities in Ayrshire
Hard Luck Tattoo held a flash day on Killieween and 100 per cent of profits went to mental health charities.
Niky, who has been a tattoo artist for more than 10 years, told Ayrshire Live: "I’ve been struggling quite a bit recently with anxiety and stress. He continued: "I had a customer on Friday and she told me how she lost her brother recently. He was only 23. She spoke about Megan's Space charity organisation which has been helping her so I’ve decided to donate £505 to them.
Hard Luck Tattoo wants to create a safe space for everyone and the team is always happy to listen to the customers. Niky said: "We could literally do hundreds of tattoos on the day but I’m always saying to my artists to take their time and focus on the quality of the tattoo and the finished product instead of rushing it out and on to the next customer.
Niky is now working on upgrading and expanding Hard Luck Tattoo and opening his second shop in Kilmarnock to create more jobs and apprenticeships in the area.
