OIL CITY, Pa. — For an Oil City tattoo shop on Monday, the ink was more than skin deep.

Austin Ink in Oil City held a fundraiser on Monday, September 24, donating all proceeds made from a selection of tattoos to a local man fighting testicular cancer.

Over $2,000.00 was raised to help, Mike Farren, 29, of Franklin, with accruing medical expenses from his current battle with cancer. More than 30 people made a permanent tribute to cancer awareness by paying $50.00 for a cancer ribbon themed tattoo.
