A Convention of the Tattoo Arts coming to San Francisco, October 22 - 24 2010

This is definitely the best tattoo convention on the west coast. You can see some of the greatest tattoo artists around the world including Shige, Kim Saigh, Shawn Barber, Cory Norris, Chad Koeplinger, Steve Byrne, Tony Hundahl and Grillo. Grime is also doing a world exclusive book signing. I got my bad ass tiger tattoo last year from Henry Lewis who is featured in Juxtapoz and the local SFMOMA. If you want to get a great tattoo I recommend heading down to SF in October for this event. Here are some pics from last year... 1 , 2 , and here are some pics from the convention planner Horitaka. Hope to see you out there!!
