In a fashionably scruffy former factory in central Kyiv, tattoo artists ply their trade to raise money for Ukraine's armed forces fighting fierce battles in the country's east. Every Saturday for the past seven weeks, a tattoo marathon has been inking customers, with funds raised being donated to Ukraine forces who have been fighting Russian troops since Moscow invaded Ukraine...

Myroslava Arnautova, 18, poses with her first tattoo at a weekly tattoo marathon held to raise funds for the military, amid Russia's invasion, in Podil, Kyiv, Ukraine, on May 21, 2022. Arnautova, chose a tattoo of a sketch of a bird by the 85-year-old Ukrainian artist Lyubov Panchenko, who died in April in Bucha during the invasion. "This is my first tattoo but now it feels like I had it all my life.

"We will keep doing this until the end of the war," Filipchenko, who has lived in Kyiv for the past five years, told Reuters. "Maybe we will bring it back for victory day.""Why not try?," 37-year-old Ukrainian-Brazilian tattoo artist Zhylson Buakela said. The tattoo marathon takes place in Kyiv's trendy Podil district, a pre-war hipster hub which is showing signs of revival.
