SPRINGFIELD, Ore. (AP) — Dozens of people in Springfield lined up to get tattoos in an unusual fundraise for a local animal shelter.

Dubbed “Tats for Cats,” local tattoo artist Joshua South of Area 51 Tattoos offered to do $13 tattoos for 13 hours on Friday, which was the 13th.

KVAL reports that there were nearly 140 people on the waiting list for a tattoo by midday Friday. South had already inked about 30 tattoos by then.

South says one of his employees approached him with the idea as a way to raise money for the Greenhill Humane Society.

The tattoos offered during the fundraising promotion were small, about the size of a quarter of 50 cent piece.
