As a newb I’ve never been to one. Except for the blurb on the website, what can I expect?

Cheers,

holy shit there is some serious talent that is going to be there.
Are you planning on getting work done?
I don’t know about conventions on that side of the pond but here pretty much a big room or rooms filled with booths which have one or more tattoo artist in them pounding ink into peoples skin. The both is usually a table with books and art and crap on it and a couple of people sitting behind it. that being said I love them what a kick in the pants, I love getting tattooed at them mainly 2 reasons the quality of artist that you can get with a small amount of planning and that getting tattooed with people walking around and watching is very distracting from the pain.

Cheers Buttwheat, I didn’t have a clue what went on.
I’m not planning on getting anything done just yet, mine won’t be complete until November so I won’t have any cash until after then, just interested whether it was worth having a look or not.
would definitely like to have a nose round and see top artists at work.

I wasn’t going to get any more ink at all, but I’ve decided to get a couple more, life’s too short…

I’m bumping this since it is this weekend.
My artist Cory Norris will be there.
All you that are within a 5 hour drive should go.

Hopefully some of the UK members will find the time to go and maybe get some work done.
Or at least take some pics.

Sadly I don’t think I’m going to be able to get there now, cash is tight this Month due (ironically) to my tattoo.

Anyone else going?

The link is the same as last Year http://www.thelondontattooconvention.com/

Anyone interested in meeting up for this?
Also, if anyone is travelling from the other side of the pond, I’m more than happy to help out finding accommodation etc (but sadly can’t put anyone up as we only have a 2 bedroom place)
