Tattoo aficionados love showing off their unique and memorable tattoos to other tattoo-lovers. So that’s why when a tattoo convention comes around, it brings people from all walks of life to share in their love of all things ink.
At the annual tattoo convention held at the Hyatt hotel in Garden Grove, CA, over 2,000 people lined up to take part of the massive event. People ranging from biker dudes to sweet-tempered housewives partook in the event and traded tips on where the best tattoo parlors were, how to best take care of their tattoos and what tattoo they should get next.
Buttoned-down businessmen mingled with tattooed models and old army men to give the convention a sort of camaraderie not found outside a tattoo parlor.
In the picture gallery, a range of tattoo buffs posed proudly with their inked bodies fully on display. The subjects range from a martial arts expert, a housewife, a tow-truck operator, a model, a computer programmer and an attorney.
The stigma that was once associated with tattoos has virtually disappeared, with even the most serious and buttoned-down individuals having at least one tattoo.
The convention was a huge success — it was a celebration of all things tattoo and of showing pride in our bodies.
