The three-day tattoo convention will feature world-class tattoo artists from all over the country.  This is great news for you cause you'll have all that ink at your fingertips.

You will have the rare opportunity to work with artists directly to plan your next tattoo or watch others act as the canvas for these amazing pieces.
