TRANS-MISSION – Series of Fundraisers for Samo This May

Our friend Samo at Play Dead needs no introduction, but here goes: exceptional tattoo-ist to gallery owner to community activist to all round awesome human being. Samo has been going through transition for some time and now with a surgery date on the horizon the arts and LGBTQ+ communities Samo has shown such love and support for are coming together to return that love and support with the aim to help raise the funding for this important step in Samo’s journey.
