Looking for something to do this weekend Calgary?
 

Come on down to the Calgary Arts & Tattoo Festival (http://www.calgarytattoos.com/) if you don't have anything else to do. The show also features Dodegball, and 6 Roller Derby game put on by the Calgary Roller Derby Association (calgaryrollerderby.com/)

$25 entry, and $11 to park.

$25 ? :surprise: My daughter and I were thinking about it but, $50 for two of us plus parking...holy....I gotta save up a lot more for that tattoo I guess...:lol:

It was $10 last year in advance, and $15 at the door. The price jump is huge!

Too bad I didn't know there where people from canreef going to be there. It would have been nice to have a coffee and chat for a bit.

The convention was great and the after parties were a blast to say the least.:biggrin:
Here's a couple of pic's of a piece I got from Aaron Bell. I should have gotten some pic's right afterward, but was crazy busy at our booth and didn't have time. The tattoo is in the ugly phase of the healing process and I took the pic's myself minutes ago. It's 22cm X 23cm and goes over the elbow and through the ditch(ouch!). The top of it ties into the mask on my upper arm and shoulder blade.

I wait for this convention like a kid waits for Christmas.

I was very fortunate and got an entire day with Aaron Bell, which I booked many, many moons(see months) ago.

He worked on my dark themed arm for the whole time.

I'll have a full day with him again next year.:biggrin:

LOL :lol: My daughter wanted to go find some advice on removing a small tat..

I think the line-up of artists and vendors was better, but it seemed as if the turnout was very low in comparision. Maybe these increases played a big part in that.

My freind has someone that's very cost effective for laser removal. Did you want me to get you some contact info? Also Sondra at Arthouse in Kensington just got the latest and greatest equipment laser removal equipment available. Won't be cheap, but she's top of the pile at everything she does.

Can't you just get a skin coloured tattoo to go over it? ;)

:lol:
Gary, please PM me that info and I'll pass it along. She had a small heart tat done and it looks like a bum....which maybe reminds her of the bum she had the heart tat done for....
