Tattoo Convention

Over the last weekend New Plymouth was host

to a Tattoo Convention.

Guest tattooists, many from other countries,

set themselves up in a local

stadium and visitors wandered through,

looking at their work,

chatting to this person and that.

It was an extremely friendly event.

Some visitors offered their

skin to the tattooists.

The photo below shows a Japanese

at work, using traditional methods.

He always had a large crowd of

observers around him.

And just in case you were wondering,

I don't have any tattoos.
