GIVING BACK TO THOSE WHO GIVE THEIR ALL.
Qualifying career fields get a discounted hourly rate — our way of saying THANK YOU!
BCTC GIve-back program
In a country where professional athletes and celebrities are paid more than those who raise our children, protect our safety, and might even save our life, something is seriously wrong. Instead of waiting for society to change, we’re taking matters into our own hands by offering a discounted hourly rate* to people in select professions. A discounted tattoo won’t change your life, but we hope it makes you feel appreciated for all you do. Our community, country, and society need you, and from the bottom of our hearts we say, “thank you.”
UPDATE 4/17/2025: No sign-up required. No more application requirement. Replaced the one-time credit with a discount* on your hourly rate. Qualify by showing proof of your profession in-studio on the day-of your appointment (subject to artist approval). Unlimited redemptions.
* Current discount is $25 off every hour.
HOW TO GET THE DISCOUNT
