BANGOR -- Folks in the Bangor area had the opportunity Saturday to help support veterans and get some new ink.

Diversified Ink held a flash tattoo event all day Saturday where folks can get pre-drawn designs with a portion of the costs going to the Maine Veteran's Project.

For those not looking for ink, an auction and bake sale helped to garner more donations for local vets. Organizers say it's a great way to meet new clients while supporting a cause.

"It's a great opportunity to really just get out in the community and help the veterans, and also to get a little business going and get some stuff that we don't normally do. Because we're generally a custom tattoo business," shared owner Damian Sheffer.
