SCDP (Save the Cats and Dogs Project) is an initiative to reduce the number of dogs and cats being killed.

One day, Daniel Ray, the owner of Ray’s, met Mona, a Weimaraner. He brought her back to the Kyoto Tattoo Studio and she instantly became the official mascot of Ray’s. This was the start of a project involved with animals.

For every item of RAYS apparel or other goods sold on our Online Store, or for every tattoo session, we donate 100 yen to dog and cat shelters. The project started in April 2018 and is still ongoing.

What can we do to reduce the number of unhappy pets? It is honestly difficult to continue with our burdensome activities, but a little is better than nothing!
We started with the idea of donating 100 yen from every sale, borrowing the idea from the proverb “Every little bit will amount to a big pile”.

Everyone can contribute back to society, of course that even includes a tattoo studio.

Ray’s will adhere to contribute back to society through SCDP.
