Tattoo shop in Utah raises nearly $4,000 for missing Indigenous people awareness

Eminent Ink Tattoos in Midvale, Utah, hosted a successful three-day fundraiser from November 23 to 25, donating 40% of proceeds to the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center. The event attracted over 300 customers, raising nearly $4,000. The tattoo shop, co-owned by Sebastiana Lansing and Lili Deforest, aimed to raise awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women. This event followed a previous charity effort that raised $1,600 before the shop opened in March 2024. Legislative efforts are ongoing to address issues related to missing Indigenous people. A task force focused on this issue is set to expire on November 30, but plans are in place to renew it for another three years.
