18 Jan 2022 --- Société Bic S.A. (Bic) is acquiring semi-permanent tattoo company Inkbox for US$65 million to strengthen its position in the growing “skin creative” industry. Inkbox’s attitude of the body as a canvas will lead to a new category in Bic: “skin merch.” The France-based manufacturer can now tap into the DIY skin creative market category, expected to surpass US$1.5 billion in 2031 with a compound annual growth rate of 13%.
