went to the 2nd Singapore Tattoo Show last weekend. did not spend as much time as i would like to there this time round. thus, wasn't able to like take photos of interesting, nice looking and cool tattoos.
my sister took some pictures, but not as many as what i took last year.
i don't know why, but it felt different from last year's. and i did not feel that it was as crowded as last year's, as it was the 1st ever one to be hosted in Singapore.
Chris Garver returned this time and he tattooed! guess the price for a simple design, which take just about an hour to complete? $500 buckaroos boy! oh my goodness! we (my sis and i) stood from afar to count the number of $50 note the lady took out to pay him. we were stunned!
but of course, he's a popular artist and to those who got him to tattoo, i salute them. they willingly paid for his work to be inked on them. it's priceless cuz it ain't easy to engage him cuz there is a long queue of people wanting to get inked by him.
and we did get to see the traditional japanese tattoo technique. the colours were so bright and beautiful!
and yes, Kim Saigh was this year's ambassador for the convention. but i was surprised that her booth had no long queues of people who wanted a picture with her or buying and autographed poster.
not the same for Chris though. as long as he is not tattooing, there are people at his booth who want a picture with him or chit chatting with him. his booth had Tim Hendricks who is a well-known artist too.
Bob Tyrrell's booth is far away from the front of the exhibition hall this time round. it felt weird having his booth all the way back, and he shared with a local artist the booth.
oh well, still looking forward to the future tattoo shows here. it shall be my annual "exhibition" to attend. (",)
