Need ideas/donations for my awesome charity

Okay you obviously have zero understanding of the term overheads. Even with the example earlier of someone who volunteers their time for a charity, that charity has bills that someone is paying. If you honestly think all these charities have zero overheads then that says more about you than me.
The same people don't understand why the head of a large charity is paid well.

Need ideas/donations for my awesome charity

If you boil it down, it sounds like he will provide the service but wants to be paid. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays my wife goes to the food bank, loads up her truck and distributions food to a number of families.

She doesn't ask to be paid. At the food bank they are all volunteers. Most of the food comes from Publix, Costco, Walmart and a few others. No one is getting paid. They do it because they want to.

Many years ago I got involved in a homeless feeding program. After a while I came to discover the money we were donating, I was giving $400.00 a month, was mostly being pocketed by the Priest who was running it. Food he said was being bought was actually donated.
Here's the thing, was he feeding people, yes. But he was also inriching himself.

One on one charity is a good way to help people. You can't help everyone but can make a small difference in the lives of a few. As far as the tattoo thing. It seems like the cost of a 2 inch cover up tattoo is not really that expensive.

Where is the money going that would be donated? It seems to the tattoo artist for his services. That's not charity, it's a revenue stream.
Understandably, you have questions.
Please, ask Ben your questions.
We don’t mind anecdotally making points, but that usually comes from speculation.
I implore you to speak with Ben, here or privately.
You will find an upstanding, forthright man, who has no larcenous intent, and is asking for help and guidance with only the want to help those who have physical wounds in addition to the wounds that don’t show.
