TATTOO INDUSTRY NEWS:Body Art Expo Hits Southern California

The YouTube video posted above can be found at the website for the Body Art Expo, located at BodyArtExpo.com.

This past weekend, July 17-19, the Body Art Expo, held several times a year in Pomona, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver and Chicago, took place at the Pomona Fairgrounds right here in scorching hot Southern California.

The staff here at MyTattooGirls was unfortunately unable to attend, but our very own Tabitha James has gone to the show at the Los Angeles Convention Center and can attest to the insane amounts of mass hysteria going on at these shows. 

Every 20-30 feet, someone is getting something pierced. Chicks are flashing off their pierced nipples and tattooed pussies, all while being careful to avoid security. There's tattoos and piercings going onto and into every body part imaginable, everything from head tattoos to corset piercings. You'll find most tattoo artists using the traditional guns, while others are using the Japanese "Tebori" hand-poke method. Clothing companies are selling their latest fashions, while others are selling everything from glass pipes to sex toys. All-in-all, there's a little something for every one who's got even the smallest interest in body art.

All of the shows are sponsored by the World Famous Baba of Vintage Tattoo Art Parlor. (As a footnote regarding Baba, he's appeared on MyTattooGirls before, tattooing Shyla Stylez.)

Now, finally getting back to this video, if you don't watch it for anything else, go to the 1:04 mark of the video. The chick mentions that there's some "hotties here tonight" and then it goes to.... well, go to the video to check it out! Pretty funny stuff!
