Carpe Levis

Covered the Miami Tattoo Expo @ the Miami Convention Center.  Definitely a different type of crowd from the everyday Boca yuppy!  If you wish to see the full gallery, look  HERE

The first thing that surprises when you walk in is the sound of many many artists at work, a constant hum permeates the room throughout the day; at any given time I’d estimate 40+ people are getting inked.

Kids were not only there in support of their fathers getting tattoos, but one 9 year old was actually giving tattoos!  I guess you have to start them young.

There were also plenty of hot cars and bikes to be seen.

Even the massage girls were showing off their body art

This guy had an awesome leg piece just completed.

In addition to the tat’s, there was also piercing and body modification.

and A Polynesian show

There was so much more, check out the full photo site HERE if you get a chance.  The expo as a whole was a huge success and something I’d recommend anyone check out.  The sheer magnitude of so many people showing off art on their bodies is really something to see; it’s enough to make any conservative right-winger think about where he or she might want to start her first piece… but remember, before you rush out, there’s a reason these guys are in business too!
