Yeah of course!...I don't have tatoos but I like to see them... I was there two times....Milano is my town...
marisa_dimattia:
cool. maybe we'll see you there next year!
My Latest Tattoo Revue Is Up and it's all about highbrow hype associated with tattoo culture.
I have mixed feelings about using tattoo imagery in marketing luxury goods, but as a general rule, if an actual tattoo artist is getting paid for his or her art, then I'm for it.

The exhibition in Asheville is really cool .It has lots of flashes and pictures from many famous American tattoo artists from the 30's on.

Re: workwear to the club:
Try it, te reaction should be interesting. I rarely wear a suit, but when I lived in Philly I made a point of going to my favorite smoky, hipster-infested dive bar (owned by a friend of mine), post-performance while in formalwear or a nice Italian suit.
