Comments on: 5 Destinations for the Tattooed Traveler http://matadornights.com/5-destinations-for-the-tattooed-traveler/ Just another WordPress weblog Mon, 15 Mar 2010 02:12:20 +0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: charlie74 http://matadornights.com/5-destinations-for-the-tattooed-traveler/comment-page-1/#comment-4139 charlie74 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 23:24:19 +0000 http://matadornights.com/?p=2847#comment-4139 As a collector of tattoos for over 20 years, i thoroughly enjoyed this piece. I try to attend at least one convention a year and would like to recommend them to anyone interested in researching a tattoo. However, when youre finished checking out all the booths and big name artists, dont be scared to talk to the other attendees(not the featured artists) and ask them about their ink! Its a great way to fine tune your ideas for your next tattoo and i promise youll come out of the convention with a few extra friends. And to mr. mandingo...I would ask you to name five people you know that are still virgin skinned. There are so many flaws in your statement, i dont know where to start. Next time you open your mouth, open your mind with it. As a collector of tattoos for over 20 years, i thoroughly enjoyed this piece.

Unfortunately the conventions in LA suck and it tends to be a backslapping affair. I avoid tattoo conventions myself but am always interested to learn about new artists. uncle mandingo - you are a narrowminded fool. Los Angeles has some the best tattoo artists in the world.

Did you conduct some sort of national survey to come to this conclusion? You come off as pretty narrow minded with comments like the ones you've put forward. There are doctors and lawyers and people of other white collar professions who have tattoos (and more than one at that). I have tattoos and I have a masters degree. Ask around in tattoo studios and they'll tell you that their clients are from all walks of life. Stop generalising for heaven's sake! It sounds like the only one with a tiny brain, and therefore living in a tiny world, is you! Wow uncle mandingo, talk about a bunch of generalisations you’ve put together there!

Emerging as the next MUST GO TO place for bespoke quality skin ink, the Mother City on the Southern tip of Africa is an awesome and value-added option for tattoo collectors to check out. Wildfire Tattoos in Cape Town is world renowned for it's quality design and it's owners also run SIX - the Southern Ink Xposure international tattoo convention, although only in it's second year by January 2010, the event's inaugural showing drew thousands of spectators not to mention some of the world's best artists in the forms of people like Lyle Tuttle and Paul Boothe. check out www.capetattooconvention.co.za CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA!

He is so-called trained under sailor jerry, old school tattooing, any monkey could do!

Tiny minds= tiny worlds. Please write something threatening because you can't put your mind around this.

Thank you for writing this. I have had work done by Nick Rodin at Blackheart in SF.
