New England tattoo shops will give you a Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump tattoo for free
Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have some of the biggest superfans in the entire 2016 race, which perhaps makes it no great surprise that some of them are willing to commit to their fandom for life. In the neighboring states of Vermont and New Hampshire, tattoo artists are offering free ink to anyone bold enough to tattoo their support for either candidate permanently on their skin.
In Vermont, the Aartistic Inc. tattoo shop is giving away free Bernie Sanders tattoos to anyone who drops in. "We've done about 50 so far and more request calling in each day," shop owner Tyre Duvernay told Mashable.
On the other end of the political spectrum are Bob Holmes' tattoo parlors in New Hampshire. Holmes has already inked free "Trump stamps" on 28 customers.

As anyone with ink knows, tattoos don't come cheap — in other words, both Holmes and Duvernay have likely given away thousands of dollars of business for their chosen candidates.
