oookay. so. i dont think it was worth $20 to get in but i did get to talk a lot to some local artist.
High Street Tattoo - the lady i talked to at the booth was really nice and informative. i showed her a picture of what i want and she told me everything i wanted to know, from the artist to pricing to colours and hours. she gave me some new ideas on what to do with it too..
Stained Skin's original palor, Second Skin (newark) - i really liked talking to them. they seemed like they were there coz they really enjoyed their job, not for money or a name. i got lots of ideas from them too and they were willing to work with me on some prices.
both places i really liked, but one is an hour away. there were some other places there like Stained Skin, Imperial Design, Sovereign something... but they werent really talkative and didnt care unless i was there to get a tattoo that day.
suicide girls were there, they were hot. sorry no pics.
anyway, i think im going to get my tattoo on the right side of my back. if you are cool enough to be on my myspace, it's in my album. basically its a big rose with a necklace wrapped around it.
