#Dc tattoo expo series
The folks working at the Doubletree said they hadn’t seen a convention of this size in over a year.The Amateur Sports Alliance of North America kicks off its ASANA World Series in D.C. One thing seems certain, in these times of economic uncertainty, the tattoo industry is going strong. It’s way better than hipster obsessions with the 80’s and 90’s. We’re not sure why the tattoo community is so obsessed with retro styles and all things 40’s and 50’s, but we like it. Seriously, this guy sucks.Īnd just like every tattoo convention should have, this one had a Pin-up contest. We didn’t think this piece of shit deserved to have his picture in our post, what with the fucking SS Nazi tattoo and the Confederate Flag on his right arm, but then we figured we wouldn’t have a chance to talk about what a pathetic monster he is and how when he’s not eating macaroni and cheese by the catering tray-full, he’s probably out killing children or worshiping satan or beating old people to death. Remember in the old Bugs Bunny cartoons when a hungry Yosemite Sam would look at Daffy Duck and see a fully cooked meal? It’s gotta be the same way, if you’re covered and sleeved, you gotta look at puppy and want to cover him as well!Īlthough, when we suggested ‘tatting up’ his dog, this fine gentlemen pulled the canine close and asked us to ‘please step away’… You can’t tell me that some of these folks, head-to-toe in ink, haven’t thought about it. As far as we can tell, it’s frowned upon. We searched high and low and even checked the internet for rules on tattooing your baby or dog, but couldn’t come up with much. Seriously, an argument over this week’s schedule almost came to blows. The closest thing to a fight we saw was the argument between the hotel’s security guards in the security office when we went to pick up our contractor badges. Those expecting unruly behavior were sorely disappointed. Here’s how it worked: basically the tattoo expo gave the chance to find all of the shops from the East Coast and beyond in one place, so you could peruse a bunch of different styles and ranges of artwork and choose the one you like best and roll up your sleeves and *bam* they’d tattoo that purple skull right on your leg, while hundreds of people watched. Is there anyone else who finds the irony in showing one’s titties for a t-shirt?
#Dc tattoo expo for free
Shirtless dudes and women with their pants down ruled the day as the whine of tattoo guns jockeyed for position in one’s ear with the whine of the shock jocks from some radio station beckoning women to ‘show their titties’ for free t-shirts.
We dropped in on the DC Tattoo Expo to check out who was getting inked and who was doing the inking and basically to get the buzz on all things tattoo. Those days seem long gone, as everybody and their mother seems to want or have a tattoo and the only thing unconventional is not bringing your kids to the tattoo convention. You’d find them on sailors and jailbirds and women of ill repute and that’s about it. There used to be something unconventional about tattoos.
