TULSA, Okla. — Two local businesses are joining forces to support Tulsa’s homeless population through a unique initiative involving tattoos.
Jason Hart, owner of Unidos Pharmacy on Garnett, provides bilingual healthcare to ensure accessibility for all. Inspired by a lighthearted “Tulsa Tattoo” joke from Stephen Hester’s podcast, he decided to turn the idea into a meaningful project.
“I thought this would be a cool way to show support for our city and help a good cause,” Hart said. He has already received his own Tulsa flag tattoo and encourages others to participate.
In collaboration with Anchor & Rose Tattoo Co. on East 11th Street, Hart worked to create a design for the Tulsa flag tattoo. Marceau Hicks, a tattoo artist at Anchor & Rose, expressed his enthusiasm for using his craft to benefit the community.
“Tulsa people love Tulsa,” Hicks stated. “We’re offering $100 Tulsa flag tattoos, with half of the proceeds going to the Be Heard Movement.”
The Be Heard Movement helps homeless individuals by providing essential resources, including showers, haircuts, and laundry services. Abryeon Cole, the outreach manager for the movement, expressed gratitude for the support.
“This effort makes a significant impact,” Cole said. “It’s not just about supplies; these individuals are human beings. If we ignore them, the problem will only worsen.”
There is no deadline for the fundraiser, and anyone aged 18 and older is welcome to get a Tulsa flag tattoo while supporting this important cause.
