Thousands get Heart Mum tattoos

30th June 2011

The White Ribbon Alliance’s Tattoo Parlour in The Park was a big hit again this year, with thousands lining up to get their ‘heart mum’ stick-on tattoo – and to send a postcard to their own mum from the Festival.

The Master Musicians of Joujouka, in the tipi next door, provided a vibrant soundtrack – when Radiohead and Pulp weren’t raising the rafters from the Park Stage.

You can get your own ‘heart mum’ tattoo and find out more about White Ribbon Alliance’s work raising international awareness about the nearly 600,000 women worldwide who die each year from pregnancy-related complications, at www.whiteribbonalliance.org
