Start: May 15, 2015, 6 p.m.

End: May 17, 2015, midnight

Event at Nine Worlds Tattoo

We will be doing appointment based $80 tattoos to help support the Cystic Fibrosis Canada Foundation! $20 from each tattoo will be donated to this foundation. There are 6 designs to choose from. To be more accommodating to all our clients, we ask that you refrain from neck and hand tattoos (as they take much longer than other placements).

To book your appointment feel free to contact Nine Worlds at 306-737-2753, or call/text our artists Sara at 306-501-4919

What is Cystic Fibrosis?

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. There is no cure.

Cystic fibrosis causes various effects on the body, but mainly affects the digestive system and lungs. The persistence and ongoing infection in the lungs, with destruction of lungs and loss of lung function, eventually causes death in the majority of people who have cystic fibrosis. Typical complications caused by CF include difficulty in digesting fats and proteins; vitamin deficiencies due to loss of pancreatic enzymes; and progressive loss of lung function.

It is estimated that one in every 3,600 children born in Canada has cystic fibrosis. Almost 4,000 Canadian children, adolescents, and adults with cystic fibrosis attend specialized CF clinics.
