Getting Tattooed for a good cause

All this month you can get inked for a good cause. A tattoo artist is donating half the cost of all breast cancer-related tattoos to the American Cancer Society. Adrian Flores owns Addiction Tattoo and his mother is a breast cancer survivor.
"To me, she's always been my hero, you know? She's been strong enough for everything. She never missed work for a cold or the flu so to watch her be incapacitated like that was hard to go through," he said. His wife Aracely got inked with her fifth tattoo, a pink ribbon, on Wednesday. Adrian says dozens of cancer survivors have gotten tattoos over the years. "They've survived and they want something to show for it and everyone can see that, 'I did this and I'm still alive and I'm okay,'" Aracely said. Adrian wants to get the word out and make people more aware about breast cancer. So all month long, he'll collect money to give to ACS. His tattoo shop, Addiction Tattoo, is located at 1825 SW Military Drive. He'll be doing the tattoos himself, Wednesdays through Saturdays. You can call (210) 932-1500 for more information.
