Dublin International Tattoo Convention '08 [ARTISTS CONFIRMED]

Will

been officially announced so thought I would let everyone know.

Who is heading? I know I am and artists haven't even been announced yet.

For the people in industry;
As far as I am aware it's about €500 per booth but 2 artists can fit comfortably in one... this will most likely change.

I don't know how much tickets will be for the average punter but should be a good laugh either way!!

Reku

no backpatches or colours

So they're only doing blackwork and not on the back?

Crumble Froo

Aspiration

Looks good- and looks like Paddy is looking after this. He's sound!

I was kinda thinking colours could = sinn féin stuff; tricolours with Tiocfaidh ár lá and such.:rolleyes: (sorry for anyone I've offended, I'm all for patriotism, but Sinn Féin and the IRA have just ruined some branches of it for me).

Crumble Froo

well, tattoos do tend to attract a lot of gangs and stuff... i've mentioned my whitepower inked up mate before, he's ex-verydodgygang. seen a lot of it around here too, especially at the expo. probably just standard internatoinal tattoo expo rules, i'd imagine.

Captain Ginger

Oh great, was looking at the thread for the one in Cork and was really hoping there would be a Dublin one

Khannie

Definitely going. \o/

Will

Hellrazer: :pac:

I might make this a poll and sticky it closer to the time.
When I find which artists are going I will post them up.

Paddy's the Owner of Bodyshock Piercing Studio in Temple Bar. Really cool guy.

Will

Alan, read the freakin banner.
No patchs or colours i.e no-one will be admitted who is openly saying they are affiliated to a certain gang whether it be bikers or whatever.
for further clarification just because its you!

Nothing saying 'hell's angels' nothing giving off a vibe that you are a gang member, further examples like bandanas with gang logos etc. Normal clothes, whatever you would wear normally. jeans, tshirt, whatever. nothing which may affiliate you with a gang.

further more, heres a picture cos im sure you like looking at them... here's a game of called spot the gang member





Take a stab at it Alan... not that hard

The reason they put that up as there was some trouble between two rival biker groups at one of the last conventions.

Think theres been trouble at the lot of them--the last two I went to there was--Is that not why Paddy stopped organising them???

Star Lord

Will I'm guessing No.2... The polo shirt, the popped collar, I'm guessing he's a member of the notorious D4 gang...

Khannie

I am _SO_ buying 5 polo shirts today. I'm gonna pop that popper!

Le Rack

Davey Will was replying to this bit, where you (after being told what it meant) if your hells angel "sort" friend would be allowed in.

Hence Will explaining it in a way that can't be taken the wrong way.

Will

I was S P E L L I N G it out for you Alan so it could only be comprehended one way. Common sense... *bashes head off wall*

Looby_Loo

There are two sorts of motorbike clubs- those with a backpatch and those without. The "regular" clubs have their patches on their chests or arms and are usually just groups of friends with common interests.
The backpatch clubs have, as the name suggests a large logo on the back of their leathers. Examples in Ireland are The Vikings, the Outlaws and now the Hells Angels are setting up a chapter. They are more akin to criminal gangs and often have feuds

GirlConcubine
