Red Shark Digital, Greenville's leading digital marketing agency, is celebrating the incredible success of the Shark Week Flash Tattoo Fundraiser, an event that brought together two local businesses to support the health of our oceans. During their week-long Shark Week celebration that took place in July, Red Shark Digital joined forces with J&J Tattoo in Kinston to unite the Eastern, NC, community, allowing all the shark lovers and tattoo enthusiasts to celebrate in style and for a good cause.

About the Shark Week Flash Tattoo Fundraiser

On Monday, July 28, 2025, J&J Tattoo opened its doors for a special one-day flash tattoo event that had the community buzzing. As a nod to Red Shark Digital's ongoing Shark Week celebration, the offer included ocean-themed flash tattoo options for guests to choose from.

Protecting Oceans One Tattoo at a Time

In total, the Shark Week Flash Tattoo Fundraiser raised $1,875 for the Plastic Ocean Project, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing plastic pollution in our oceans. Every dollar raised from the event goes directly toward education, research, and cleanup efforts that protect marine ecosystems and the sharks that call them home.

Community Response

Local media took notice of our efforts, with coverage from WCTI, WNCT, MSN, Yahoo News, Pirate Media, and WITN highlighting the event and inspiring people from surrounding communities to come out and celebrate.

Local Partnerships in Action

This collaboration between Red Shark Digital and J&J Tattoo shows what can happen when local businesses unite for a good cause. The tattoo artists at J&J worked throughout the day, creating beautiful shark-themed pieces that participants can carry as permanent reminders of their contribution to ocean conservation.
