Okay so I hit up Left's 2nd annual tattoo convention last weekend. It was my first tattoo convention so had no idea what to expect. Honestly I only went because I had friends with a booth. Got a new piece on Friday night. I must say the experience was just okay. There were two live bands and they were not very good. It was very loud so that the artist and I were practically shouting to hear each other. Also when you are in pain and trying to deal with it, loud bad music does not help. Lighting was not very good either so the artists needed to provide their own. I would have preferred that the tattoo contest / judging happen on the stage so that we could all see. And rather than bands, just have more of the side-show stuff. Although it was obvious that the MC knew how to handle the mic, I would have preferred less swearing and cock talk and more just promotion of the various artists and booths. Thanks to Lefty's for throwing the party. Next year with some improvements I'll give ya another star.
