WHILE Stephen Grady sits in a shop enduring 43 hours of pain, a crowd is expected to cheer and bid outside to raise money for his cause.

Mr Grady and Twin City Tattoos will try to set the record for the longest tattooing session — more than 42 hours and 10minutes — this weekend to raise money for the Albury Base Hospital children’s ward.

They have raised $2500 and plan to secure more from an auction at the Wodonga Termo Hotel site, near Twin City Tattoos, on Saturday about 1pm.

Unique Memorabilia, in Wodonga, has donated 30 items for the sale, including a signed Kiss guitar.

Director Ken Richter said other collectables featured sporting greats such as Shane Warne.
