ATTOO & BODY MOD EXPO 2009!!! I went today, and holy shit it was fun. I'm just gonna hotlink to my MySpace.
Ivano & Me (my friend/artist)
Starting to color my friend's tattoo. He did the outline a week ago and was going to color the whole thing today for the expo. It took a total of 10.5 hours including the outline process, and he still wants to add some finishing touches tomorrow.
About six hours into the tattoo.
The finished masterpiece. A bunch of the best artists from LA who were doing the "best tattoo of the day" contest said it was the best work they've seen in a while (Ivano kept stating that he was among Gods, and he's an amazing artist so that's saying a lot). Unfortunately, some realism piece won instead of Ivano's.
But we're going back tomorrow and he's going to enter the tattoo again if the judges are different.
Drew and me after an oxygen treatment on our tattoos. It's a new procedure that feels amazing, cuts down healing time, and so on and so forth. We even got a free sample of their spray and cream. Ballin'!
So that was it. There aren't any pictures allowed so I wasn't allowed to go around and snap pictures of anything unfortunately, but it was still fun so I figured I'd share what I had.
