Luxury car maker Bentley, in collaboration with a U.S. tattoo company, has unveiled a special Bentagya with a wrap that is visible only under UV light. According to CarScoops, the collaboration between Bentley and Bang Bang Tattoo was revealed at the Art Basel event in Miami in mid-December.
The wrap, created by Bang Bang and Bentley Mulliner, includes a tattoo-like design that “turns on and off when driven under UV light.”
According to the report, it is unclear if the Bentayga will go to a customer, but Bang Bang Tattoo and Bentley will “collaborate to add custom touches to bespoke vehicles for clients.” Their next collaboration, for which work has already begun, will be ready in 2025.
“Initially, the car’s façade presents harsh, tessellated shapes on the bonnet, symbolizing the tension one might feel at the start of a journey,” Bentley Mulliner design consultant Rich Morris told CarScoops. “As one moves along the car, these shapes transition into a fluid, structured ripple pattern along the sides, evocative of water droplets and creating Bentley’s signature Azure diamond motif.”
Bang Bang founder Keith McCurdy said, “Bentley offers a canvas as luxurious and transformative as my tattoo art.”
