reposted from my love, boxcar's, journal. please read this, and i would appreciate you doing whatever you can. devon means a tremendous amount to a tremendous amount of people, including me and other fellow suicidegirls. all the help you can give will be met with much thanks.
The most important person in my existance, my dude, tattooer Devon Blood, is in the hospital right now after being shot early Wednesday morning, July 12, during an attempted robbery of my home. He's listed as stable in the ICU, he's unconscious, but his recovery looks good if he stays the course he's on right now. Either way, its going to be a long road to being his usual self. The bullet that is lodged in his brain is not going to be removed, as the doctors fear it would do more damage to operate to remove it than to leave it where it is.
For those that know Devon, you know what a gentle, good hearted person he is, as well as the passion he has for tattooing, and the love he has for his family and friends. He didn't deserve this to happen AT ALL, not that most people do, but it doesn't sit right knowing what he's going through.
One o his closest pals, Matt Howse, has sorted out an account for Devon, for those of us who want to contribute to helping him on his way to recovery.
It's very important to usthat everyone understands that 100% of every dime that goes into this account will go to Devon and Devon only. There aren't any middlemen, percentage takers or foundations that can get their hands on it. I've set this up on behalf of his family and friends, so any questions, please ask. It's even a free checking account to they won't even take fees for it.
So, you can send in money three ways; mail a check/money order/whatever to:
Devon Get Better
c/o Sacred Tattoo
707 Broadway
Oakland, CA 94607
Make sure checks are made out to "Devon Get Better" which is what I've set up the account under..
or you can deposit money into the account directly at any Washington Mutual branch, the account number is 3063634311.
I've also set up a Paypal account for those who use Paypal, the address you send money to is devonblood@reliabletattoos.com
The art benefits and shows will be starting this week, and will continue as long as there's drive from all of us. For anyone who wants to contribute art, tattoo time, or anything else that can be contributed towards his recovery, you're more than welcome to. Just contact Matt Howse at Matt@reliabletattoos.com for details.
With a constant stream of visitors since last week, Devon knows we're here for him and is able to show signs here and there of being aware people are around him who love him.
We've met with the neurosurgeon who's overseeing Devon, his prognosis is good for the type of injury he's sustained, but it will be days or weeks before we know how he'll fare with being his old self. All of our love to our friend.
Please pass this on.

Apparently, you can't screen cap videos or something. It's bullshit.
