In February and March 2027, Ink to End Lyme will return across the United States, bringing tattoo artists and studios together to support people affected by Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.
Organized by the nonprofit Lyme Warrior, the annual charity campaign has been running for ten years. During that time, the tattoo community has helped raise more than $228,000 to support patients and their families, increase awareness of Lyme disease, and fund the organization's initiatives.
For 2027, Lyme Warrior is inviting more tattoo artists and studios to join the campaign and help make it the biggest year yet.
How Can Tattoo Artists and Studios Get Involved?
The campaign runs throughout February and March, with each participating studio choosing its own date and format for a fundraising and awareness event.
Studios can host a charity flash tattoo day, organize a fundraising auction, create special tattoo designs, or simply dedicate a regular tattooing day to the cause by donating a portion of their proceeds.
Lyme Warrior works with participating studios to promote their events and provides promotional materials and organizational support. Funds raised through the campaign help support Lyme disease education, awareness initiatives, and resources for people living with the illness.
Beyond fundraising, one of Ink to End Lyme's main goals is to make reliable information and support more accessible to patients and their families. Lyme disease can be difficult to diagnose and treat, and many people affected by the illness struggle to find the guidance and resources they need.
Over the past decade, Ink to End Lyme has demonstrated how the tattoo industry can come together around a shared cause. The organizers thank every artist and studio that has supported the initiative over the years and hope to welcome even more participants in 2027.
Tattoo artists and studio owners can find more information and register to participate on the official campaign website.
