Tattoo Expo last weekend

What a cool thing that was, here's their webiste http://www.bodyartexpo.com/MAIN.PHP

It's great exposure to see different artists from all around the country. If you're looking for ideas for your next piece or if you want to compare styles or just if you're looking for local Tattoo artist talent. It's a great collection of art, people and culture.......so to speak. :-) Every style of tattoo/artist could be found there. Whether you like Aztec, Grafitti, cartoon, pin-up girl, jail-house, tribal, portrait, asian-influenced, gothic, animals, cars, monutments......etc...etc...ect. It really felt more like an art show than anything else. I've been to shops before but I've never seen so many actual photos of tattoos actually ON PEOPLE before, versus just looking thru books and books of flash.

We actually only made it thru about 3 hours, but the show was on for 9 hours that day. After 3 hours we had seen like 95% of the booths. We grabbed some over-priced "Carni-Food" and headed out. Trust me, after 3 hours of crane-ing your head down to look at hundreds, possibly thousands, of pieces of art like that.... with that kind of fine detail..... not only will your eyes get tired, but your neck will be absolutely sore as hell.

So we headed out and were just in absolute awe of the great stuff they had there. Cool people with killer tats, freaky people with killer tats, and everything in between. But mostly........ just really nice art and amazingly talented and friendly artists. Good times!
