Putting this up on behalf of some really good friends :cool: (if this isn't the right spot for it, Mods/Admins please move if you want? Just wasn't exactly sure where an event like this fits in?)

CONTROLLED BLOWOUT 2012 - A Traveling Art Show by Dan Bursell, Luke Muller & Stooks.

CONTROLLED BLOWOUT tattoo tour 2012

Controlled Blowout | Facebook

The 3 road warriors crazy enough to undertake this journey are: Dan B from Westside Tattoo (Brisbane), [MENTION=2486]lukemuller[/MENTION] from True Love Tattoo (Brisbane) and Stooks from 5 Star Tattoo (Fremantle)

The Controlled Blowout tour was planned as an excuse for 3 Tattooers and friends to travel across Australia exhibiting their tattoo inspired works, tattooing and probably finding some time for a bit of a surf. The road show will be stopping in both Rural and City locations so art lovers will be able to get their fix in April/May 2012. There will be a number of framed originals in the exhibition, and keeping with tradition a number of affordable, unframed prints will also be available. In conjunction with the art shows, the guys will also be taking appointments to tattoo at respected studios in each town they exhibit in.

The tour stops (so far) are:

24th April - Margeret River Art Show: "Artful Ink" Studio 6pm-9pm

(Dan will be tattooing back home at Westside, Luke back home at True Love and Stooks will be guesting at Westside)

All 3 artists focus on bold, traditional western and traditional Japanese styles in both their tattoos and paintings. So you can expect the artworks on this tour to be modern tributes to timeless, bold tattoo imagery.
