Fundraiser in Honor of Andy Beswick
A few weeks ago, a good pal of the Coven, Andy Beswick, unexpectedly passed away, leaving behind 5 kiddos, 4 of which he was the sole parent and provider of.
Andy was a renowned tattoo artist, and on Tuesday, November 7th, 2023 a nationwide Traditional Tuesday event will take place in his honor, with 100% of the proceeds going to support his kids future.
For local friends, Eddie, at Dark Water Collective in Nevada city will be participating, along with the shop that Andy founded in Santa Cruz, Good Luck Tattoo. There will be a flash sheet of Andys art that you can choose a design from. If you are interested in getting tattooed, please consider this day and event.
Below are a list of participating Tattoo Shops around the country. If not listed, contact your local shop and ask if they are involved.
There is also a GoFundMe set up in his honor, all proceeds going to the future of his children.
Our dear friend Andy suffered from an unsurvivable brain hemorrhage this past week. Andy was the best solo father to his 4 beautiful, young daughters and was an instrumental pillar in our community. Anyone that knew Andy knew he was a fierce friend, a compassionate, loving father, and an incredible artist. Those blessed to wear his tattoos will help to carry his legacy on forever. Andy gave the best hugs, was the reason behind the most genuine laughs, and cared for everyone he met. Andy was truly someone to look up to. Please consider donating to his go fund me to help support his daughters in this trying time. Kristen Newton is their legal guardian and will be receiving the funds on behalf of the girls.
