To show that those who wear Dr. Martens are as resilient as their boots, which is what their campaign “Tough as You” embodies, the event featured wildly creative tattooists Gabriel & Josephine, and lettering artist Ewejin Tee who unleashed their creativity and went all-out in customizing Dr. Martens footwear.
