Tattoo & Graffiti Legends Unite for BIG SLEEPS! Over $28,000 Raised! - Video

The tattoo community came together for an unforgettable night at Rodeo 72 in Whittier, California, to support legendary lettering tattoo artist BIG SLEEPS (David Cavazos). After years of battling kidney failure and waiting for a kidney transplant, Sleeps suffered a devastating stroke that left him in a coma. Now in rehabilitation, he’s fighting to recover, and the tattoo family is standing behind him every step of the way.

Sullen Clothing brought back our $300 MAX ART SHOW, calling on legendary tattoo artists and creatives from around the world to donate original artwork, with every piece selling for $300 or less! The concept is simple: make incredible, one-of-a-kind art accessible to everyone while bringing the community together for a greater cause. And the response was unbelievable!

Tattoo legends, world-renowned graffiti artists, rappers, musicians, collectors, and friends packed the building for an incredible night of art, music, and brotherhood. With Big Hoon on the mic and Big Sleeps’ wife Monica and family in attendance, the energy was something special. By the end of the night, OVER $28,000 WAS RAISED FOR BIG SLEEPS AND HIS FAMILY! ????

Earlier this year, we sat down with Sleeps for an emotional, four-hour episode of THE VAULT on Sullen TV, diving deep into his incredible life story, struggles, and journey through tattooing. We never imagined what would happen just months later.

This wasn’t just an art show. It was a reminder of what makes the tattoo community so special. Artists supporting artists, legends honoring legends, and an entire industry coming together for one of our own.

Much love to every artist who donated, everyone who purchased artwork, and every person who helped make this historic night possible. KEEP FIGHTING, SLEEPS! WE GOT YOU! ❤️????
