AXE OF KINDNESS TATTOO

OUR MISSION

Axe of Kindness was born of a love of tattooing and the immense desire to answer a call from within to do more to support the underprivileged, underserved, and all of those in need of help in our community.

We welcome tolerant, accepting, and reasonable humans from all walks of life to be a part of this journey with us and we wish you well along the path.

OUR PROCESS

We aim to create exceptional and lasting tattoo work and use this art as a way to embody the positive change we would like to see in our community, and the world at large.

To that end, we will donate a minimum of 10% from every commission—whether merch, artwork, or a tattoo—to numerous charities and causes, both locally and nationwide. Your patronage at Axe of Kindness directly supports their ability to make this world a better place.

OUR PROMISE

Our work is built upon relationships. We collaborate to create, beautiful, high quality work with a personal connection to the community you love. The art you commission supports causes we care about across the board, or you can request the portion from your patronage go to one on our list you are most passionate about.

A share of your generosity will always go directly to those who need it most.

WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS SAYING

  • A beautiful and clean shop with welcoming and friendly staff. Absolute professionalism that you sometimes don’t find at other shops. I highly recommend Axe of Kindness Tattoo for anyone!

    – Heather M

  • Every interaction I've had with Adrien and Axe of Kindness Tattoo, from the initial email inquiry to the design process to aftercare, has been so welcoming and professional. Adrien is an amazing artist and really listened to how I envisioned my tattoo, and made design adjustments to get us there. I also really love their mission to support our local community.

    – Kate W

  • Adrien listened and designed a fine line piece spot-on to what I imagined. Everything was sterile and comfortable. And the best part, knowing with every piece, money is given to local organizations and charities to support community initiatives—Adrien doesn't just give money either, but invests his time to understand how he can help the Rochester community too!

    — Tammi D

  • Adrien is one of the best tattoo artists I’ve ever gone to. As someone who is really into clean line work and intricate tattoos, Adrien is definitely the guy to go to! I got a few tattoos in one sitting, and he reworked a tattoo I had gotten prior from another artist that was a bit messy and completely changed its appearance. On top of all his great work he is a really comforting and friendly individual every session is something to look forward to with him!

CAUSES WE SUPPORT

YOUR KINDNESS SAVES LIVES

AXE OF KINDNESS AFFILIATE PROGRAM

WHAT ARE AFFILIATES?

Tattoo artists around the world may feel the call to give back to their local communities, but don’t know how. Axe of Kindness Tattoo is proud to announce a new initiative focused on creating a unified partnership between businesses across the country to better serve those in need. Being an Axe of Kindness Affiliate means that one is not willing to sit by while others are in need of help—that many of us, even if just in a small way, have the ability to help provide support for those who need it. 

HOW DO AFFILIATES WORK?

Axe of Kindness Affiliates pledge to join in the mission promise to donate a minimum of 10% of their gross from tattooing, merch, and art sales to charitable organizations doing good, serving the underserved, and looking out for the most vulnerable among us— particularly in their own communities.

Becoming an Axe of Kindness Affiliate positions you with other shops around the country who share your desire to do good.

HOW DO I BECOME AN AXE OF KINDNESS AFFILIATE?

You don’t have to be located in Rochester, New York to join us in giving back to the community.
