Squid Ink · From my Virgin Voyages memories
From meeting Sir Richard to wearing the story.
Some encounters become stories. Some stories become tattoos. Meeting Sir Richard Branson was one of those moments that brought my Virgin Voyages journey full circle. The ships, the people and the memories suddenly had the man behind the idea standing right in front of me.
Later came a pirate-inspired tribute at Squid Ink aboard Valiant Lady. I brought the idea; Debora Fernandez brought it to life. Adventurous, a little rebellious and a very permanent reminder of why I keep coming back.
The tattoo is part of a much bigger collection of memories. The artists, the conversations and the people around each piece matter just as much as the finished ink.
