Dublin tattoo convention

Shelli

no

I was there all weekend and didn't see any of you guys, how crap am I??

Didn't get any work done due to lack of funds, but had a whopper time all round. Atmosphere was a little lacking on Sunday, but I had to leave early so it may have picked up after I left, think everyone was hungover LOL

Star Lord

no

It was buzzing on Sunday evening, busiest I'd seen it all weekend!

I had fun folks, but curses on not having enough monies to get some work done

Next year I'll definitely be calling upon our new friends from Oregon

i went up! was good crack! Some of the tattoos were unreal! Anyone see the dude who had the full sleave of the joker from batman.. my boyfriend was in the competition. he was first up with the ghostbusters half sleeve.

I Got this pretty little tattoo at the convention from the guys from hawaii! Cant think of the name


still very sore

Will

no

So anyone any thoughts or comments on the convention this year?

For me it was much the same as last year. I understand the time and effort that went into the organisation and appreciate it though.

I was hoping there would be some jewellery vendors here this year, wildcat were the only folks last year but there was no one (that I'm aware) who was selling jewellery this year.

A few people who were on the list to be there weren't, mainly lucky diamond rich but oh well. I know karen russell was meant to be there but her kid is sick, so maybe lucky diamond rich was in the same boat. Not sure.

A time table of events would have been mucho helpful, just a rough idea of what would be going on and when. Missed a few of the burlesque shows only caught some boobie tassles

Shame some of the other studios around Ireland didn't go to the convention, like snakebite, art tattoo and jmd's.

In saying all that though I had a great time, fun was had, tattoos were a plenty and I thought the skate decks were awesome as prizes for the competition winners. Bring on next year, hopefully get to maybe the london convention too

Cookie Jar

Yeah I'd agree on a whole it was like last year, a rough time table would have helped but thats a small gripe. Just the music on the saturday i taught was pretty awfull, sorry if i'm insulting anybody but thats just my honest opinion as as well as a couple of others .... but there was good crack to be had all round.

Yeah, I managed to miss pretty much everything. Still had fun wandering around, though.

According to my boyfriend I walked right passed Will and Damo.

truthinwords

The music was a bit ropey and way too loud. I was at a booth on the opposite end of the convention and couldn't hear what anyone else was saying because of it. Was it just me or was it all either rockabilly or ska, I don't remember hearing much variety anyway.
