I hope not...because conventions are great place to meet cool new people and artists. Guess anyone with money can buy a booth?

I am beginning to become a real prude about this stuff. I will not go to any convention that is NOT put on by a tattoo artist. If it is just some guy selling booths to make money, forget it...boycott it. Why give them your money? What are they giving the industry?
I won't buy machines, tubes, needles or pigments from anyone who is not a tattoo artist, either...or those who sell to the general public. It may cost a bit more NOW...but down the road, not supporting those Hucksters will be a worthwhile investment.
Let's face it...we can all go to the local mega mart and get razors and paper towels, but most of these legit companies don't sell those things, anyway. |

Very true about the conventions. The other ones don't have reputable artists anyways.

| I have to say I agree with you there Badwolf but just have to add that some of our so called artists have turned out to be real Whores. And to them i wouldnt give 1 cent. Kinda makes me think sometimes what tattooing has come to. Everyones looking to make a killing off the backs of the hard working guys. Im sure this wouldnt have been accepted 10 years ago, but today anything goes. They call it progress, I call it disaster. |
