about the expo second year. will continue to attend. There is only one well maybe a couple things there is one gentleman who entered the two years i have been attending. his work is of same girl tattoed in different veritions he wins everyyear. on the full back my girlfriend was in line to be second the girl before had big boobs mells face all over them I know makes things exciting but its a hard act to follow. one last thing my friend is light skinned not dark but not white I think judges should take that into consideration. my friends artist and her are going to try many colors. my friend had a chance to talk to one of the judges he was very cool and very constructive cristim. Mel is Mel she is samesone special!!!my friend loves tats the judges i think also need to pay more attendtion to really orginal tattoo it can take a year to complete sometimes just a month just designing to make sure things are straight between tattoo artist and person getting it.that is true art!!! ox see you next year great show!!!!
