Many people around Britain are looking to honour soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq by getting the design of a cupcake tattooed on their bodies.<\/p>\n
The Scunthorpe Telegraph explains tattooist Rose Elizabeth is just one of those contributing to fundraising efforts in aid of Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
Costing £20, the tattoos hope to mark people's support for soldiers serving in the armed forces and the publication explains the move hopes to raise £60,000 for the charity.<\/p>\n
Joint owner of ABH Tattooing Pam Green says: "It's about time the tattoo industry gave back.<\/p>\n
"We've never been known for charity work and everyone thinks we're rough and tough but this is showing us in a different light."<\/p>\n
Ink For Heroes will be held at Catterick Garrison in June to celebrate efforts from around the country, with the charity tattoo festival a culmination of the fundraising done so far.<\/p>\n
The event's website explains the Cupcake Club was formed in September 2010 and sees representatives travel the UK to raise money to assist injured soldiers.<\/p>\n
