Imperial Tattoo helps community support bullied 11 year old.

Raleigh, North Carolina is a exactly 1,218 miles from Sugarlad, Texas where a tattoo studio is help raise money for a young Raleigh boy. Michael Morones is an 11 year old who was bullied to the point of attempted suicide for being a fan of "My Little Pony". In Sugarland, Texas tattoo artist Tony Wayne of Imperial Tattoo rallied his community together to help the boy and his family by offering $20 tattoos focusing on "My Little Pony" images. People have been travelling as far as 5 hours to get tattoos to help support the young boy stating he could relate to the challenges the boy faced.

Tony told HLN in an interview that "I saw his story, and I knew I wanted to help somehow... and this was pretty much the only way I know how.”
