Donations for Rudy Carillo of Chicago Tattoo

[David Flores]

A good friend and coworker at Chicago Tattoo Rudy Carrillo was hit by a car 2 days ago while riding his bike home, Rudy has no insurance and 2 daughters to take care of . He has a broken mandible and is seeing a plastic surgeon today to help repair damages to his chin. The force of the hit was so bad that the front fork of his bike was sheered clean for the rest of the frame. We are asking everyone if they can make a donation to help out with Rudys hospital bills while is out of work. We are trying to get a fundraiser together soon to help out as well. All donations can be sent to his paypal at [email protected] thanks..

I DON'T KNOW RUDY REALLY OTHER THAN HE IS THE PIERCER AT CHICAGO TATTOO CO. , BUT HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN COOL TO ME WHEN i GET TATTOOED AT THEIR SHOP AND IT SUCKS THAT THIS KIND OF STUFF HAPPENS, ESPECIALLY IN A LINE OF WORK WHERE MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE INSURANCE AND HAVING TWO DAUGHTERS CAN'T HELP THIS MATTER.

EDIT: NEITHER DOES MISSPELLING HIS NAME IN THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD BUT TOO LATE TO FIX I SUPPOSE.

Get a cool sheet of praying hands for a $25 and donate to the cause.

I e-mailed back-n-forth with him the other day, he said that they are working on putting together a fundraiser. Will post any details I hear.
