TORONTO, April 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Inkbox, the cutting-edge, semi-permanent tattoo brand announced its latest partnership with the world's most successful virtual band, Gorillaz. The new exclusive 15-piece tattoo collection features designs ranging from old school artwork to present-day iconography.
"Partnering with a band as culturally renowned as Gorillaz is the perfect opportunity to broaden our lineup of musical collaborations and continue to celebrate the creative nexus of tattoos and music," said Inkbox CEO and Co-founder, Tyler Handley. "Both Inkbox and Gorillaz are committed to celebrating self-expression, spontaneity, and individuality, making this collaboration a natural fit."

"Dozens if not millions of my fans have already got Murdoc tattoos, and all I can say is, I salute you," said Murdoc Niccals, bass player and founding member of Gorillaz.
