Tippling Club Hosted Singapore’s First Virtual Tattoo Party

May 2020 was a tough month for Singaporeans. Fear of the pandemic, the lockdown, not being able to go out anywhere-all this added to overall gloom.

Tippling Club, (rated Best International Restaurant Bar-Tales of the Cocktail 2017) decided to shake things up a bit.  It decided to host a Virtual Tattoo Party to get fellow tipplers into a mad party mood.

And where there are temporary tattoos, can Gumtoo be far behind? Naah!

Tattoo Parties at Tippling Club

Tattoo Parties have been a signature party at the Tippling Club, in the pre-lockdown days. The Club has conducted it 5 times with different tattoo themes such as Tiki Cocktails, Biker Gang, Hip Hop, and Block Party. The party has a guest bartender and 2 tattoo artists doing free tattoos as per the theme for all guests.

This year, the plan was to hold a ‘Cinco de Mayo’ style party on May 3rd. However, with COVID-19 and the lockdown, the event couldn’t be held in the usual way.

So How Did This E-Party Get Going?

The Chief Tipplers (read: top bosses) at the Club decided to put a virtual spin on its tattoo party. Something novel to keep regular patrons engaged and to help them smile and forget a bit about the stresses of the lockdown.

The idea of a rocking Virtual Tattoo Party emerged. Codigo 1530 Tequila and Cointreau came on board as co-sponsors.

E-vites were sent to regular patrons and details of the party were shared on Tippling Club’s Instagram Page.

What Goodies Were in Store for the Tipplers?

94 patrons who signed up for the party received an incredible high-value goodie bag.

The goodie bag consisted of:

2x 2 serve cocktails
1x Codigo 1530 Tequila miniature
1x Cointreau miniature
1x pack of nachos with chili beef and a selection of nachos (plant-based option available)
1x Cointreau Margarita glass
