Aruba offering free tattoos by locals for a “permanent souvenir”

The Aruba Tourism Authority recently announced the introduction of the “Tattoovenir,” the first-ever souvenir that truly stays with you.

The island is offering visitors the chance to get a free Aruba-themed tattoo from a local artist, as a permanent reminder of your time spent in Aruba.

“When our visitors leave, they take some of the island’s abundant happiness with them,” said Ronella Croes, CEO of the Aruba Tourism Authority. “What better way to celebrate this lasting feeling than to give away permanent souvenirs from our talented local tattoo artists. Because Aruba stays with you, long after you leave.”
