BG Tattoo Studio Holds Fundraiser Supporting Abuse Survivors

BOWLING GREEN — A Bowling Green tattoo studio is turning art into action, partnering with a local support organization to raise awareness and funds for survivors of domestic and sexual abuse.

Oddity Archive Ink announced a collaboration with Avenues, an organization dedicated to helping survivors, with proceeds from select tattoos being donated directly to support those in need. The effort will include special flash sheets designed specifically for the cause.

The project also carries a deeply personal connection. The studio was asked by Lisa Johnson to create a custom tribute piece in memory of Emily Traynor, whose life was tragically lost to violence. The tribute design, along with other awareness-themed artwork, will remain a permanent offering at the studio as a way to honor her memory and continue raising awareness.

Beyond the fundraiser, the studio emphasized its commitment to being a safe and supportive space for the community. Owners say their doors are always open to anyone who feels unsafe or needs a moment of peace, offering a place to sit, regroup, and access help if needed.

Organizers say the initiative is about more than tattoos—it’s about standing with survivors, honoring those lost, and reminding the community that help and support are available.

For those in need of assistance, local and national resources remain available to provide support and guidance.
