Mondial du Tatouage, Paris, 6-8 of March (2015)

Anyone?

Seems like I'll be going to Paris earlier that week for two tattoos, so I might as well go to the convention too and check it out :)

@mmikaoj this one looks so good! I have wanted to go the past couple years but have never been able to justify the expense. My little sis lives in Paris so I can definitely justify the trip, hah! But for whatever reason she is usually not in Paris when the convention happens.

I will jealously await all posts and updates if you go tho! Would be cool to see an LST Europe get together.

2nd time for me this year! I'm starting my back on friday the 6th! Stoked!

Changed my mind and I'm not going this year. One year I have to go though.. Aiming for the Scottish Convention in the end of march instead. Finishing my backpiece

@Flo Ania , I'll be going to Paris. Second time. Let me know if you wanna hook up at the convention, I'll be there every day. I'm booked on friday and sunday around at 12:00, and on saturday at 16:00 (with Paul Doblemann, Dan Gilsdorf and Jim Sylvia), otherwise I'm available, on peut prendre un verre and hang out? Also, I plan to see the exhibit at musée du quai branly on thursday (taking my aunt with me, haha), musée du quai Branly: Tatoueurs, tatoués , you should check it out.

Je parle francais, so no worries about language barriers...

@malikamorch I'll only be there on friday, I have an appointment at 12 too, and then I'm taking the train back home. But come see me, I'll be the half naked guy crying at Chad's booth! ^^

@Flo Ania, I'll try to catch you! ;)

It kills me I'm going to have to miss this; it would be the perfect birthday present to myself. But I have commitments to my kids that weekend (my daughter shares my birthday - or I share hers - and my son is taking part in a regional chess tournament). I'll definitely be going next year; last year's was supposed to be excellent.

I planned to go at first but meanwhile I had my rendez vous with Valerie Vargas a few weeks ago ... Even if it's worth going to it and meet all these big artists, I won't be comfortable with about 30k people around!

I might be going to this year... But I don't know Paris at all.

Where is a good area to stay in for getting to and from the convention? Aside from walking-distance options...

I usually stay with family, so I'm in no way an expert...but if you stay anywhere near a 7 metro-line station, at least you can get there directly. The metro station nearest la Villette is on that line, it's "Porte de La Villette" (Watch out, though. A lot of really dingy hotels in Paris, as I'm sure you know...). Otherwise, Montmartre is a popular area, and not too far away from the convention. Just beware that you have to change metro lines. A little walk from Montmartre you can take metro line number 2 and change to line 7 at "Stalingrad", or number 4 and change at "Gare de l'Est". Hope this was helpful...

That is helpful, thanks!

I'll do more research now but just wanted to narrow it down a little.
