19 Crimes The CL(INK)
Dates: 11th and 12th September
Time: 11.00 – 20.00
Location: The Ace Corner Shop, 149 Shoreditch High St, London E1 6JQ
To celebrate the launch of the ‘19th Cork’ campaign, 19 Crimes is welcoming guests to The Cl(INK) where fans of the brand will have the opportunity to get an 18th century inspired tattoo for free.
The Cl(INK) will be taking place at The Ace Corner Shop, Shoreditch on the 11th and 12th of September. At The Cl(INK), visitors will choose from a list of 19 designs from flash sheets that have been produced by a carefully selected team of tattoo artists in collaboration with renowned tattoo historian Dr Matt Lodder. Dr Matt Lodder’s insight and collaboration ensures that the designs are authentically inspired both by the tattoos on the skin of convicts in the 18thcentury, and by the 18th century-Britain heritage of the 19 Crimes brand. According to the findings, 80% of incarcerated men and women would have been decorated with tattoos by the early 20th century.
To give customers an added taste of what an 18thcentury tattoo experience would have been like, the talented Jack Brown and Connor McNeilly, will be offering a modern interpretation of the traditional stick and poke method, available via pre-booked appointments only. Alternatively, the modern tattoo gun approach will be available and open for walk-ins from the brilliant Delph Musquet and Prieme.
The Cl(INK) is part of 19 Crimes’ ‘19th Cork’ campaign, providing the nation with the opportunity to win up to £1000 worth of cash prizes if they find the so far unreleased 19th printed cork. Sending the nation on the ultimate treasure hunt, a limited number of bottles of The Uprising and Red Wine will be released across the country which contain the so far unreleased 19th crime printed cork. Customers who manage to track down one of these corks will win a cash prize, and visitors of The Cl(INK) will also have the opportunity to unveil a clue as to the location of two 19th cork bottles in Shoreditch, if they’re brave enough to pick a mystery 19th tattoo at the pop-up.
All tattoos are FREE, however walk-ins will be on a first-come first-serve basis and the stick and poke artists will be doing pre-booked slots only, which can be booked here now.
