Why are Sailor Jerry x Sans Patrie hosting a Tattoo Drop?

The exclusive Sailor Jerry x Sans Patrie Tattoo Drop follows on from the launch of the collaboration, 'Borderless', a limited-edition streetwear capsule collection of coveted hoodies and joggers between Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum and Sans Patrie, which is available now from the Sans Patrie website.

Drawing inspiration from East London’s vibrant melting pot, the collaboration between the two brands embodies a fusion of innovative perspectives. Celebrating tattoo artistry as a powerful form of creativity and self-expression, the campaign pays tribute to the artisan landscape, serving as a love letter to barber shop culture and the craftsmanship that thrives in these communal spaces.

What else can the public expect from the Sailor Jerry x Sans Patrie Tattoo Drop?

Once inside the event, if you fancy a fresh new look - there will also be free haircuts up for grabs, courtesy of the capital’s top stylists at Ruffians® who will be on hand to expertly chop your mop.

And if that’s not enough, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum x Sans Patrie will be giving away merchandise, such as co-branded caps and palm sized bluetooth speakers. 

Only 20 members of the public can enter the event at any time, so make sure you get down there from  6.00pm. The barbers will be working throughout the evening event and the FREE trims will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis. So to get in the chair, simply find a member of the Sailor Jerry or Ruffians team inside the barber shop and let them know!

Karen Daly, Senior Brand Manager at Sailor Jerry, added: "Barber shops are a hub for culture, community and creativity so we wanted to pay homage to this in a truly unique Sailor Jerry way, via tattoos courtesy of Delphin. The aim is to create an experience that honors the artistry of tattoo culture and barber shop craftsmanship. The tattoos, the new ‘Borderless’ streetwear collection, and the atmosphere - it’s all about connecting people through self-expression."

Event organisers reserve the right to withhold the tattoo if the recipient is determined to be under the influence of alcohol or any other substances at the time of the event.
