The *original* NYC Tattoo Convention - NYC Tattoo - Home

Its on for 3/7 to 3/9 in NYC at the Roseland Ballroom. My artist, Studio 69 Tattoo, will be working and I have plans to take a couple of hours of chair time one of the 3 days. It would be nice to see some people from here show up too.

I saw a list of the contests, I'll have to see if I can get into one myself.

Im really thinking about going, I never been to a convention before. From what I hear the rochester is one of the best. Any info like whos gonna be there, do you need to make an appointment or just walk right up?

[ironchef]

I'm going to see if I can make it. It's happening the weekend I get back in town from vacation.

Probably attending Saturday night. Not sure if I am entering or not...still up in the air. Can't believe it is the last show at Roseland. Hopefully next year they will have it in a hotel.

I'm going here to get a tattoo. I've never been to a tattoo convention and this is my first tattoo. I was wondering if anyone could tell me, do I need to worry about tickets being sold out? If I can't get a ticket, I can't get tattooed, right?

You'll be able to get a ticket, just might be packed. Go early! Who are you getting tattooed by?

Best of luck! As for advice...plan your arrival time to the convention so there is no issue with your scheduled session time with Horimitsu. Line on Saturday can get real long, like down the block but you will get in eventually.

Be on time, be respectful, and take care of your artist ;)

Wow, line down the block just to get in ? Is Friday less crowded ?

Last year when I went on Friday (it was in May), got there a half hour before doors open and there were like 50 or so people ahead of me. Now Friday is ok day to go, check out your favorite artists, not as crowded and bs. Saturday is a better night and more entertaining but always crowded as all hell.

I've always gone on Saturday, no problems getting in. I'll be there, mostly uncovered and all! We should have an LST sign ;)

[slayer9019]

Hey guys I'm here. I'm the idiot stupid enough to wear shorts.

Nice running into you @slayer9019!!!!

Sorry I missed the event. My artist wasn't there, she broke her arm the week before and I wound up having to work over the weekend.
