Saturday was the day. Me and the crew took off for an adventure down to my old home town, Long Beach California to the Ink N' Iron Tattoo Festival on the Queen Mary. Trever and Mikey arrived and we cruised the Scion xb right to the doors of the ship. Ok, actually we had to park near the pike and take a stinky shuttle to the event but it was fun and made this a quest!
There was tons of food, vendors and music on hand and bad ass tattoo artists as well. After getting an eyeful of Californias finest pin ups walking around we scurried in for a cold beer. The music was jumpin and we were in for a treat. There were 3 levels of tattooing going on and we made our way over to our dear friend Scott. Scott was getting his other hand tattooed by world famous artist, Bugs. Can one really have enough skulls? I think not.
The buzz of the tattoo machines and the splashes of color everywhere you looked made for an unforgettable event. I got to see a few people I knew and take some pictures with my old boss Ethan Morgan, and some old friends, Fonzy and Rick Walters to name a few.
All in all it was a wonderful trip and I hope to be working there next year if possible. This was a great show because many overseas artists attend such as Robert Hernandez, Boris, Jo Harrison and many more. I spent lots o' loot and we made our way home safely.
I recommend everyone get out and go next year and I'll see ya there!
