Snap Judgement: NYC Tattoo Convention
Tattoo enthusiasts from around the globe converged on Roseland Ballroom on May 16, 17, and 18 for the annual NYC Tattoo Convention. Over 80 tattoo companies were on hand...plus thousands of men and women who were obviously no stranger to the needle. It was the perfect place to be for fans of facial piercings, Hells Angels, jugglers or Jesus tattoos (which somehow accounted for about 7 of the 10 entrees for "Best Portrait Tattoo"). We walked around and spoke with...or shall we say "needled" a few patrons. - Ron Bishow
