On Friday, Oct. 13, Spark Project Collective set out to beat the Guinness World Record for most tattoos in 12 hours by accomplishing 900 tattoos. The Collective additionally wanted to continue to facilitate meaningful collaborations between tattoo artists and those that want to make a positive impact in their communities. The theme for the event was centered around “Friday the 13th” and a World Record Attempt Extravaganza. The local community that participated showed their support, resulting in one local member who completed 37 tattoos in one sitting to kick off the event. On Oct. 19, Spark Project Collective announced it broke the record for most tattoos completed in 12 hours.
