Indian Motorcycle: advert-top-1 by Team One

Indian Motorcycle, America’s first motorcycle company, has created the world’s first tattoo ink composed of the carbon from freestyle motocross icon Carey Hart’s modified Indian Scout Hooligan racing bike. The carbon was carefully extracted from a sample of tire rubber obtained from a burnout Hart performed on the bike.

Now die-hard Indian Motorcycle loyalists and Carey Hart fans can bond with the freestyle motocross legend like never before, getting their own tattoos using this rare ink infused with Hart’s burnout. Hart was the first subject for the ink, getting tattooed with his newborn son’s name.

The safe and sterile ink from Hart’s burnout was distilled by ink-making pioneer, Franco Vescovi of Nocturnal Ink. It will be used exclusively at Vescovi’s Vatican Studios in Lake Forest, CA and at four Hart & Huntington Tattoo shops in Las Vegas, Orlando, Niagara Falls and Nashville beginning July 11 until they run out, and the ink is gone forever.

The campaign, created by Team One, Publicis Groupe's premium and luxury brand agency, includes a partnership with Inked Magazine including an advertorial spread in the July/August issue and a 90-second film.
