Remembering Lauren Rose McNally @laurenharmless

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we have to share the sad news that our beloved friend and colleague Lauren has passed on. Anyone that met her knows she was one of the happiest, loveliest and most creative people in the world and life will be a little bit darker without her light.

We have a few ways in which we are hoping to raise money for charity and to keep Lauren’s artwork living forever.

We will be tattooing Lauren’s designs going forward, however we’re asking people to pay the normal amount for the tattoo with an artist at Harmless & then pay an additional £20 that’ll go towards charity! Please fill out a Harmless form.

If tattoos aren’t for you but you’d still like to receive some of Lauren’s incredible work, then we have chosen a few of our favourite designs available for you to purchase as prints via our store.

Any funds raised will be donated at the end of every year and divided between Essex Air Ambulance and other local charities.

Lot of love,

Harmless x
