The latest partnership from semi-permanent tattoo brand Inkbox is in collaboration with virtual band Gorillaz and the 15-piece collection shares a mix of old-school and present-day imagery to speak to new and diehard fans alike. The new collection offers a look back upon the iconic band's 20-year adventure, and this partnership unites the values shared by both parties, namely self-expression, spontaneity, and individuality.
In the collection, fans will find designs that depict each band member – Murdoc, Noodle, 2D and Russel – as well as popular logos and symbols. These semi-permanent tattoos feature Inkbox's patented For Now Ink, which mimics the look and feel of a real tattoo but offers a fraction of the cost and commitment, since it lasts for just one to two weeks.
