The design was created by Stephanie Big Eagle, a Sacramento-based activist who supports the protests.

Tattoo shops across the country and around the world are offering her design.

Artists at Under Skin Art said it's important to be a part of the cause.

"We like to keep current with what’s going on," said Manager Jessa Bigelow.

"We noticed it became big in the tattoo industry. We wanted to do our part, too."

All the artists at Under Skin Art are from the Bergen/Passaic area, including Elmwood Park, Englewood, Little Ferry, and Hawthorne.

"My artists are very active when it comes to charitable events and donations," said Owner David Osorio.

In exchange for donating directly to Standing Rock Tattoo's GoFundMe page, Under Skin Art will do the tattoo for no additional charge.
