Join Pittsburgh Action Against Rape (PAAR) for our third annual Ink for Impact—a powerful event where art, community, and healing come together. This all-day experience brings together local tattoo artists, vendors, live music, and survivor-centered advocacy to raise funds and awareness for survivors of sexual violence.
This is a FREE event, open to all.
💉 Tattooing On-Site
Book flash tattoos from some of Pittsburgh’s most sought-after artists. There will be hundreds of flash designs to choose from! Many survivors use tattoos as a form of reclamation and healing—turning pain into empowerment.
🛍 Artist Market + Vendors + Live Music
Support local makers and creatives while exploring custom artwork, prints, jewelry, and more. Catch performances from Pittsburgh talent throughout the day, plus interactive activities and community resources from incredible local non-profits.
🍔 Food Trucks & Beer Garden
Enjoy delicious eats and drinks from some of the city’s best local food trucks.
💚 Why It Matters
100% of proceeds from the event benefit PAAR and the 24/7 support services we provide to survivors and their families in Allegheny County. All artists are required to donate a minimum of 70% of their sales (many donate more), and there will be other fundraising efforts such as a raffle and merch to purchase!
📣 Stay tuned for updates on tattoo artists, flash designs, vendors, sponsors, and more.
