Deftones team up with Sixty Ink for tattoo pop-up experience on their UK tour

Deftones have joined forces with Sixty Ink for an official merch and tattoo pop-up experience on their UK tour.

The alt.metal titans are about to kick off their highly-anticipated arena run in support of last year’s incredible Private Music album, beginning tomorrow night (February 12) in Birmingham at BP Pulse Live.

And fans caught up in all the excitement can mark the occasion permanently, with each stop on the tour featuring a pre-show pop-up between 11am and 6pm. There’s a great selection of Deftones flash tattoos available which you can check out below, and you must pre-book an appointment via deftones@sixtyink.com if you want to get involved.

Sixty Ink founder Claudio Traina explains that, “My goal is to create local communities and connect artists and fans on a deeper level. This also gives bands a new way to sell merch without excessive fees, while supporting local businesses. But what matters most are the people, the smiles, the stories and the connections I see every day. This is everything. This is only the beginning.”

Previously, Sixty Ink have done tour pop-ups with the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Architects and You Me At Six.
