November is a very memorable month for me.  My birthday is in November, and I also love to celebrate Bonfire Night (November 5th).  But there is a date in November that is remembered around the world.  November 11th.  Remembrance Day. 
The day that marks the anniversary of the end of The Great War - the war that was supposed to end all wars. 
Of course, it didn't.  21 years later, the the world entered into the bloodiest battle in the history of warfare.  During these wars, and in subsequent wars, millions of people have given their lives in the pursuit of freedom and justice. 

In honour of their memory, and to support veterans, serving soldiers and their families, the Royal Canadian Legion sells poppies every year in the days leading up to Remembrance Day. 
In support of this worthy cause, I am giving 20% of all war and remembrance tattoos for the rest of the year to the Poppy Fund.
You can also drop by the studio to donate and pick up your poppy.

Regardless of if you're getting tattooed, or just wearing a poppy, don't forget those who gave everything .  On November 11 at 11am, please take two minutes of silence to remember them.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning,We will remember them.

Have you thought about how next year the moment of silence will be at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year of this century!
