Breast cancer’s a bitch. Organizations like the National Breast Cancer Foundation do great things by keeping awareness alive and funding much-needed research. But let’s be frank: traditional fundraising parties can be a bit boring. No Hard Feelings Tattoo Gallery is putting its own spin on the process Saturday with its Tats for Tatas 2 benefit. The event will feature a live suspension showcase, body painting, and a Battle of the Bands that includes performances by Fallen From the Sky, Colorblind Cutthroats, Beauty to the Moon, Break On Through, the Foxhill Terror, and the Punktuations. Sure, the event will include the requisite “raffles and prizes,” but don’t be surprised if one of those is a free piercing or other bodily addition. Patrick Farinas and The Flyers will close the show, and all proceeds will go to help former 93 Rock scene reporter and all-around badass Mel-T in her fight against breast cancer. After all, no one likes a bitch.

Support a good cause while rockin’ your ass off Saturday at Premier Billiards, found at 9120 Wiles Rd. in Coral Springs. The event starts at 8 p.m., and admission is free. For more information call 954-341-3585, or visit bigbrain2.com.
