Moxy Hotels to offer complimentary tattoos with artist Megan Massacre

Moxy Hotels has joined forces with tattoo artist Megan Massacre, to offer complimentary tattoos inspired by the brand’s Blank Canvas art program.

Showing off its more playful and bolder side, Moxy Hotels kicked off its pop-up tattoo studios this past spring at Moxy Washington, giving guests the opportunity to celebrate emerging tattoo artists in a more ‘permanent’ way.

Today, those hoping to get inked by the famed NYC tattoo artist Megan Massacre are in luck as the inking continues through the program called Blank Canvas. The program invites painters, photographers, film-makers, sculptors, illustrators and graffiti artists to submit works of art for the chance to be one of the showcased artists at new Moxy Hotels.

Selected works will become part of the art collection at each Moxy hotel.

“A fun and playful approach to curating art”

“Moxy’s Blank Canvas program embodies a fun and playful approach to curating art, and similar to the tattoos I create, it’s an expression of individuality that inspires creativity,” said Megan Massacre, owner of New York-based studio Grit N Glory.

On 25 June at Moxy Chattanooga, Massacre will interpret the original artwork created by the hotel’s Blank Canvas artist Petra Braun.

“In true Moxy fashion”

“Moxy Hotels are a playground for travellers and locals alike to engage in spontaneous experiences that are bold and culturally captivating,” said Toni Stoeckl, vice president, Distinctive Select Brands, Marriott International. “Through our collaboration with Megan Massacre, we’re celebrating our Blank Canvas artists in true Moxy fashion – by transforming our walls into permanent wearable art for guests.”

Moxy Hotels works with global creator collaboration platform Talenthouse to call on multi-media artists from around the world to submit contemporary works for the Blank Canvas program.

So far Moxy has welcomed everything from a live art installation featuring a giant pink teddy bear to massive video walls, to locally-inspired murals into its Moxy hotels. Furthermore, Moxy hosts a Masterclass Series for artists to school guests on their craft in a hands-on workshop.
