Tattoo tourism: getting inked on vacation, sponsored by Aruba

Aruba is Taking Advantage of the Trend, Offering Free Tattoos from Local Artists

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — This article involves commercial content.

Forget t-shirts and cheap tchotchkes, many travelers are looking for a more meaningful souvenir. For a permanent keepsake, some adventurous tourists bring home an indelible reminder of their trip. For them, getting inked is the best way to commemorate a vacation.

Aruba is the first country to capitalize on the trend with the “Tattoovenir”, offering visitors the chance to get a free Aruba-themed tattoo from a local artist, at select tattoo shops, as a permanent reminder of their time on the island and the uplifting feeling they experienced long after they returned home. Tourists can take inspiration from Aruba’s beaches, vibrant Caribbean culture and Arikok National Park.
