Fernet-Branca Releases Limited-Edition Collectible Bottle Designed by Tattoo Artist Austin England
Fernet-Branca is turning its latest bottle into a collectible art piece with a new limited-edition release designed by Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Austin England.
The 2026 bottle is the third installment in Fernet-Branca’s annual U.S. Limited Edition series and draws heavily from the brand’s longstanding connection to tattoo culture. England reinterpreted Fernet-Branca’s familiar eagle emblem using the bold visual language of traditional tattoo flash, creating a bottle designed to stand out as much on a collector’s shelf as it does behind a bar.
Fernet-Branca’s imagery has long been embraced by tattoo artists and enthusiasts. The brand pointed to historic artwork including Leopoldo Metlicovitz’s eagle carrying a Fernet-Branca bottle across the globe, along with art nouveau figures that appeared on vintage posters and calendars. Those images have been repeatedly reimagined as tattoos over the years, providing the inspiration for the latest collectible bottle.
England’s version takes the eagle and filters it through his interpretation of classic flash artwork. The artist works across several disciplines beyond tattooing, including neon fabrication, illustration and engraving, and describes his approach as being focused on making work that is “made to last.”
The collectible bottle will be joined by a limited Fernet-Branca merchandise collection also designed by England. Scheduled to arrive in September while supplies last, the lineup will include apparel, hats and bar accessories. The designs feature swirling floral motifs inspired by autumn leaves, paired with Fernet-Branca’s eagle and rendered in the graphic style of classic tattoo flash.
Collectors and fans in Los Angeles will also have an opportunity to see the collaboration in person. From September 15 through September 18, England’s tattoo studio and gallery will be transformed into an immersive Fernet-Branca showcase featuring the 2026 limited-edition bottle, the exclusive merchandise capsule, flash tattoos by England and other experiences based around the collaboration.
The 2026 Fernet-Branca Limited Edition bottle carries a suggested retail price of $34.99 and is available now at select retailers nationwide. The company did not announce a production quantity for the bottle in its press release.
