RCTC

Hi folx! We’ll be having a pop up print sale on Saturday July 19th from 12-4pm! We’ll have prints and stickers made by .g.ink and for sale! We are located at 931 E Main Street suite 24. We are a mask required shop so don’t forget to bring your masks! We hope to see you all there!

✨Are you a tattoo artist? Come guest with us!✨ We’re a collective of three tattoo artists in Madison Wi. We have guest spots open to artist who q***r and BIPOC friendly, Covid-conscious, and consent and trauma informed! 🔗 in bio

Red Clover is going to have four silent auctions at the Parking Lot Party, one each for a custom 3-hour-or-less tattoo from Ari, Bear, Harlowe, and Mar (a value of $525-750). The proceeds from these tattoos will go toward funding a Madison-local QTBIPOC parent secure housing for them and their child, and a phone. Works shown in the slides are examples of the kind of designs we are offering, not designs to choose from!

**edited to add, I know I can keep up with bids on instagram stories, I am not sure it will be possible to do so on facebook stories**

HOW DOES IT WORK?
We will have a sheet in person at the market where folks can bid separately for each artist’s tattoo. Bidding will start at $75 and increase in increments of $25. I (Mar) will update the current bid in our stories. If you are in person, check back in over the course of the event to update your bid, if you are remote reply to the story with your increased bid and I will update the in-person sheet and replace the story with the new high bid. Winner will be the person with the highest bid on their relative tattoo at 7pm, Saturday June 22nd! Only bid if you can commit to pay the gofundme the total of your bid at end of day. Follow up directly with the artists whose piece you won over email to consult & schedule your new tattoo!

You do not need to bid on a tattoo to contribute to the gfm, we will share the link in our stories and bio tomorrow (Saturday) and encourage you to please give and share independent of our little auction too! 💛💛💛

We are sponsoring this family to help them raise funds to get out of Gaza. Though the border to Egypt is currently closed, there is hope that it will open again soon and we want to make sure folks can get out as quickly as possible if/when that does happen.

There is a 🔗L I N K in our B I O 🔗 that will take you directly to their go fund me. If you cant donate please share widely! We will keep sharing until we can help them meet their goal.

The Saqallah Family is a family of 10 siblings, 5 boys and 5 girls, and 8 children. Many of them are students that were studying medicine or engineering, some are raising children, and they all deserve to find safety and stay with their family. You can read more about them in their own words on their go fund me page.

HARLOWE’S BOOKS ARE OPEN ➡️➡️➡️

today’s artist whose booking process i’ll be highlighting is harlowe!! harlowe is a senior apprentice at rctc. she’s been with us for almost two years now and is an accomplished tattooer of 8 months. they work in an abstract, deeply unique style that i don’t see anywhere else in madison, with precise lines, gentle shading, and bright color.

harlowe’s books are open on a rolling basis for both flash and custom designs. you can find her flash in the “available” and “flash” highlights on their instagram profile and book through the google form linked in their bio.

his preferences for customs are as follows: full color work, bodies, bugs, mythological and magical subjects, textured work, q***r imagery, larger pieces (think thigh or full arm placement), abstract linework and still life work. she’s not interested in memorial tattoos, fine line work, realism, or portraits of either pets or people.

harlowe is also focusing on text tattoos at the moment, so if you have any plans for even small pieces of text, contact them!

i cannot say enough about how much of a pleasure it is to have harlowe in the space. do yourself a favor and book with them 🖤

art build for action this sunday — TONIGHT 6-8pm at wil-mar neighborhood center!

STOP PINKWASHING GENOCIDE
3:00 PM
STATE CAPITOL
12.17.23

Israel continues to try and pinkwash their genocidal campaign by claiming to be a “safe haven” for LGBTQ people in the Middle East while also trying to dehumanize the people of Palestine.

Continuing to drop bombs on innocent Palestinian civilians, Israel makes no distinction between those who are LGBTQ and those who are not.

Political enablers like Tammy Baldwin and the majority of the mainstream Democrats are all too happy to oblige their requests for ever more money and weapons.

We say enough is enough! We will not let our politicians hide behind their so-called ‘democratic values’ while continuing to enable Israel’s crimes!

Come out on the 17th to show that q***r people stand with Palestine!
