Virgin Voyages: Squid Ink

Virgin Cruise Lines has launched four ships unlike any before; each has a tattoo studio on board.
Enter Squid Ink, the first ever tattoo studio on the high seas, setting sail featuring
Afterlife’s own @JOERODTATTOO & @JULIAPAIGEART

For artists, tattooing in the Squid Ink studio combines the adventure of a vacation with a killer business opportunity. For clients, it’s an unforgettable vacation you can permanently commemorate with body art. It’s a maritime adventure, bonding experience, and huge part of tattoo history.

Virgin Voyages declares that tattooing culture belongs at sea with this new venture. The cruise pays homage to the nautical history of tattooing, giving a nod to the huge role of body art in sailor culture that exploded in the 19th century. Squid Ink has a big mission to elevate tattoo culture to a new level. In the past, cruise ships were considered more high-brow and tattoos were frowned upon. Now, for the first time ever, all sailors are encouraged to get tattooed — in fact, crew members are some of the most popular clients at Squid Ink.
