Artist and Attendee Impressions

Dane Smith, an established tattoo artist and supply entrepreneur from Indiana shared his positive experience, encouraging others not to overlook such events. “Don’t sleep on this convention. It’s a great convention full of, honestly, very welcoming people that want to get tattooed and just have a good time, and I can’t say enough good things about it.”

Local resident Brad Robison also expressed his enthusiasm about the expo, saying, “I’ve gotten five tattoos already this weekend at this convention, so it has been a great time. I think tattoos are becoming a little more acceptable in the community and the world with jobs and everything. So I think having stuff like this, letting everyone know, ‘hey, it’s cool’ and let people express themselves and get art on them, it’s awesome.”
