Toys For Tatts was founded by Lupita "Bad Apple" Garcia in 2019 to use her love of tattooing to fundraise for local non-profit organizations during the holiday season and to build a strong community that believes is supporting one another. Organizations that Toys for Tatts has raised funds for include Family Community Resource Centers of Nampa, La Adelita Migrant Seasonal HeadStart, Boise Rescue Mission, and Breaking Chains Academy of Development, Inc.

 This event brings together artists from Stay True Tattoo Collective and other local shops to provide 3in x 3in tattoos in exchange for a children’s toy of $20+ value and a $40 cash donation. We’ve been able to raise upwards of $4,000 in the past and our goal this year is to surpass that amount! The toys will be donated to local organizations that work with young children like local Migrant Seasonal HeadStart Centers.
