Picture this: a tattoo needle buzzing to the rhythm of the ocean waves, inked memories intertwining with the salty breeze...... Michelle Sharp of Coaters & Castles Travel is our guest for this edition and she is going to tell us about a unique experience she just had. Welcome aboard the wild ride of getting ink aboard a Virgin Voyages cruise!
There are few experiences as memorable as getting inked with a view of the vast ocean stretching out before you. My sister and I recently embarked on a journey with Virgin Voyages, and we knew right away that we wanted to commemorate our adventure with matching tattoos. And where better to do it than on a ship that celebrates the freedom of the open sea?
As soon as we stepped foot on the ship, we made a beeline for the Squid Ink tattoo parlor. With spots filling up quickly, we didn't want to miss our chance. The anticipation only added to the excitement of what was to come.
We quickly learned that scheduling our tattoo session for the night before disembarkation was crucial, especially if we wanted to take a dip in the ocean during our trip. Keeping the tattoo dry is essential for proper healing, so planning ahead ensured we could enjoy every aspect of our voyage without worry.
At Squid Ink, the options were endless. We could choose from their designs or work with the artists to create our own. Being ocean lovers, my sister and I decided on matching tattoos that symbolized our connection to the sea.
The moment we sat down in the tattoo chair, we were greeted with an incredible view. A massive porthole allowed us to watch the ocean glide by as we were inked. The serene atmosphere was perfect for bonding as my sister and I shared stories and laughs throughout the session.
The tattoo artists at Squid Ink were not only skilled but also incredibly attentive. They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and made sure every detail was perfect. Their humor and warmth put us at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into one filled with joy and excitement.
Cleanliness and sterilization were top priorities at Squid Ink, which was reassuring when it comes to something as important as getting a tattoo. The facilities were pristine, and we felt confident knowing we were in good hands.
As we left Squid Ink with our fresh tattoos, we couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and gratitude. Not only did we have a beautiful reminder of our voyage, but we also shared a once-in-a-lifetime experience that strengthened our bond as sisters.
For anyone considering getting a tattoo while onboard Virgin Voyages, I can't recommend it enough. It's not just about the ink; it's about the memories made and the stories shared. So, if you're ready to sail into the sunset with a piece of art to remember it by, head straight to Squid Ink and prepare for an unforgettable experience.
