Friday, Sept. 25 — 9/25, the date behind Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" — was Dolly Parton Day, and Idle Hands marked it with Dolly Flash Day, a walk-in-only flash tattoo event at our 7419 Middlebrook Pike studio. Every design on the wall was custom drawn by our own artists, with flash tattoos starting at $100 and special pricing on Dolly-inspired body jewelry.
The day raised $2,000 for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. The shop had set a goal of $3,000 with about 80 customers expected through the doors. "She celebrated diversity and she celebrated what is different that makes us all unique, and I think that this is a great way to do it," co-owner Jess Jefferson said of the event, the studio's first Dolly-themed flash day.
Knox News visual journalist Angelina Alcantar photographed and filmed the day for the Knoxville News Sentinel. The picture gallery and video below collect those photos and footage of the clients, artists, and designs that walked out the door.
