Unboxing: Purple Cork Bow Tie From Brainbows Belgium - by Mr. Bow Tie

Introducing the Inkless Tattoo Collection: A Tribute to Timeless Tattoo Art

At Brainbows, we believe in celebrating individuality and self-expression through unique and meaningful designs. Our latest Inkless Tattoo collection is a perfect embodiment of this philosophy. This collection pays homage to the rich history of tattoo art, drawing inspiration from the legendary Maud Wagner and incorporating four vintage elements that symbolize the essence of tattoo culture: a snake, a pinup face, a death moth, and typography featuring a powerful quote by Franz Kafka.
