Roseville tattoo shop donates time, proceeds to kids | Events

ROSEVILLE, CA - The eleventh annual Wild Bill's Tattoo-a-Thon was held in Roseville on Saturday from 8 a.m. to midnight with 100 percent of the day's proceeds going to the UC Davis Children's Hospital.

30 tattoo artists volunteered to work 16 hours straight with all of their proceeds, including tips, benefiting the hospital.

According to Wild Bill's owner, Bill Hill, last year's event raised more than $15,000, with artists tattooing and piercing more than 100 people for charity.

To date, the event has raised approximately $125,000 for the Children's Hospital.

In recognition of the shop's efforts, the hospital named part of the new pediatric intensive care unit after Wild Bill's.
