I’ve been back from Hell City for a week now, and I’m finally ready to write a blog about the incredible time I had! This year had a lot to live up to, as last years Hell City Columbus was one of the greatest weekends in the history of great weekends, but it did not disappoint!!
I packed and drove up on Thursday afternoon (as I was packing I thought, “this is excessive. I’ll only be gone 4 days! But I ended up shooting/wearing every single thing in my gigantic suitcase!)

I packed and drove up on Thursday afternoon (as I was packing I thought, “this is excessive. I’ll only be gone 4 days! But I ended up shooting/wearing every single thing in my gigantic suitcase!)
I checked into the hotel and immediately met up with @alpalschmal and @reed to creep on them shooting a bit before it was my turn
Watching Reed shoot was a dream come true. She’s so flawless!
My turn!
Al hates getting his picture taken, so I had to be sneaky :)
After all the shooting, we met up with @Vayda, @Sirius_, @Icarus and @Nixie and went to 16 bit bar
The rest of the weekend was a total whirlwind of meeting babes, working the booth, talking with members and fans, and photoshoots with people I’ve been waiting years to work with!
On Friday afternoon I got to shoot with Sobelle, and it was such an awesome experience. We just giggled the entire time. She’s such a treat, and I finally got to shoot in this adorable set from Bullets & Bees Boutique that I’ve been saving for a year to shoot with Sobelle in.
Twinners!
That evening (well, closer to midnight) I got to shoot with @tmronin, which was another dream come true, and even better, I got to squish my boobs against @gunners amazing boobs! (This girl is seriously one of the raddest chicks I’ve ever met!)
She and I shot in the same hotel room, so we got to creep on each other!
Working the booth was such an awesome experience, and it felt like more babes just filtered in throughout the weekend. I never feel like I get enough photos, but I did take a shit ton of instax that I haven’t had time to scan in yet, but I will soon
Meeting and getting to know these babes was such an honor! Pictured above: @orion @nixie (me) @oblivion @gunner @hex @vayda @sirius_ @thestral_
Taking pictures with fans is so much fun!!
Every night, we got to present the awards for best (and worst) tattoos. It was so fun to see all of the awesome tattoo work up close and personal, and some of my favorite tattooers and friends won awards!
(of course, we HAD to take a sundies!)
I was so stoked that @firefly came on Saturday, and I made her stay the night so we could hang out on Sun (Mwahahah)
’m glad I did though, because on Sunday @firefly, @circa and I got to shoot for 420Pinups
I’m so grateful for all of the experiences I had, and as always I wish I would have taken more photos. I’ll probably write a follow-up once I have all of my instax scanned in, because those all turned out so fun!
I absolutely cannot WAIT for Hell City Phx in August!
