WINONA, Minn. – At a day-long flash event — no appointment needed —  the Red Wing Tattoo studio raised money for the Winona Area Humane Society. Piercers offered custom designs, including animals but also the “I Love Mom” sort, for $100. Manager Casey Morason, who goes by Chel-C M, said the goal was to support a good cause and have an impact on the community.

“Space Case the Piercer,” as he calls himself. Out front at 161 East Third Street. The shop moved to Winona 20 years ago.
