You can now ink yourself like a rockstar — without the commitment.
Travis Barker and Inkbox have teamed up on a limited-edition collection of “semi-permanent” tattoos, designed by the Blink-182 star and his long-time friend and artist Chuey Quintanar. The 10-piece collection features unique designs available in three sizes, ranging from small and medium for flash sheet style options, to extra-large for a bold statement.
“The tattoos are all about family and loyalty, we wanted to create pieces that felt authentic to my story but that would become part of your stories as well,” Barker said in a statement. “Getting inked together creates a bond like no other. That’s what this collection is about.”
Barker’s longtime friend Quintanar is the world-renowned tattoo artist responsible for some of Barker’s most iconic pieces such as his headpiece that wife Kourtney Kardashian transformed into the design on her custom veil at their wedding. Hailing from Mexico City and based in L.A., his distinctive black and grey style reflects timeless iconography with a Chicano influence. Together, Barker and Quintanar designed their signature Inkbox collection.
Quintanar’s pen can be seen clearly in the designs, which pull from much of the same imagery as his permanent tattoos. The pack includes cherubic angels, gothic skulls and detailed roses, but all with Barker’s personal touch.
“My son actually showed me Inkbox tattoos a while back, so to create my own collection from the ground up with Chuey, my longtime friend and tattoo artist… it’s a real full-circle moment,” Barker said.
The cruelty-free For Now Ink™ lasts 1-2 weeks and fades as the skin naturally regenerates. Unlike most temp tattoos, Inkbox works by sinking into the skin rather than sticking on top, and also boast a painless and easy application process. Once applied, the ink reacts with the proteins and keratin in the skin, and darkens over 24-36 hours.
