Philadelphia Tattoo Convention We just got back from the Philadelphia Tattoo Expo put on by Troy Temple of Tattooed Kingpin and Philadelphia Eddies Tattoo. We would like to thank Troy and Pretty Nick for always being such good hosts and for one of the best shows we have attended to date. If you didn't get a chance to come to the show there we some really talented tattoo artists like Krooked Ken and Keelhauled Mike from Black Anchor Tattoo, Bob Tyrrell, Nikko Hurtado, Frank Lee from Bulldog Tattoo, Geoff Horn from Jinx Proof Tattoo, DeeDee Seruga, Philadelphia Eddies Chinatown Tattoo, Annette La Rue from Electric Ladyland, Kimberly Reed and Zack Spurlock from Anonymous Tattoo, Totem Tattoo, Love Hate Tattoo, Tony Ciavarro from Stinky Monkey Tattoo, Olde City Tattoo, Inksmith and Rogers, Lollie and the crew from Ink Junky’s, Reed Street Tattoo, Kool Aid, Ink Works Tattoo with Phillip Spearman, Horiryu and Gunner, Eternal Tattoos with Carson, Scott Lukacs, Shane O'Neill and too many more to list!
There were other amazing artist to view like Guy Aitchison, Alex Grey, Cory Kruger, Nick Baxter, with the Visionary Primitive project.
This show is one of the must attend shows of the year and I recommend it highly. This is the perfect time of year for Philly for a show and for sight seeing. Next year make it out and head to South Street for drinks at Tattooed Mom's and the host party club Fluid.
A big thank you to Maryam Tatar for making Aurora a custom dress from the new gorilla warefare shirt. (She loves it!) Keep your eye out for our Do It Yourself Gallery!
See you there next year!
