DEPTFORD TWP, N.J. - Artists at a Gloucester County tattoo studio used their talents to raise money for the family of fallen Deptford Township police officer Robert Shisler.
The Convent Tattoo Studio, located on Superior Way in Deptford, raised over $4K by inking 80 people with thin blue line tattoos on Monday.
There were 11 designs to choose from, and each tattoo costed $50 with 100% of the proceeds going to the Shisler family.

Three artists worked for almost 12 hours on a day that they're typically off. The staff showed up at 7 a.m. to find a large crowd of people waiting outside the studio to get their supportive tattoos.
