Last weekend I got to go to the Scottish Tattoo Convention last Saturday, and I had a pretty brilliant time! I went with my pal Mhairi, and for all the practice I have had making sure I am taking photos of things, I totally did not take photos. I know, whats the point! Mhairi wanted to get a gap filler from someone, and I just wanted to see some amazing artists and get Paul Slifer's book. Unfortunately Mhairi didn't get tattooed, the people she liked were all booked up, though she did find some artists she really liked.
Unexpectedly an artist I really like was there, and while I was checking out his booth I realized that he wasn't busy, so I ended up getting a tattoo by the fantastic Deno, you can find him on Facebook here and here. His stuff is amazing and I got my Narwhal I have been wanting for a wee while now. So all in all you can say I am pretty chuffed!
It was really cool watching the way he drew it from scratch and how he tattoos it was very very cool.
Safe to say I picked up a lot of business cards but it will be cool to look back and see some of the artists and I will actually know how to find them.
Dixon and Darren decided to stay home while me and Mhairi were out at the convention, so safe to say they were pretty hungover the next day, but nothing like a wee trip through the Tesco clothes section to make you feel better.
I did get Paul Slifer's book, but my picture of it is rubbish so that will have to come another day.
