2012 Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention
Last weekend I had to go to DC to borrow my parents car so I could move some shit and on my way back to NYC I stopped in Philly for a couple days and took some photos. Last year’s convention was completely fucking insane and I had an amazing time. This year was pretty fun but not out of control like last year. It moved locations and for some reason they didn’t want Bombshell Brats doing fun things like getting naked and bowling themselves down a slip and slide.
There were some good performances though. Rigor Mortis Review burelesque was back and my friend Scarlett Storm did a Beetlejuice number and there was an Ultimate Warrior number and a Clockwork Orange thing (that may actually been part of another burlesque thing but I cannot keep things like this straight). Whatever the case there were half naked girls on stage doing weird things. There was also some sideshow performances as well. I was psyched to finally see the Enigma in person because he was on my favorite X-Files episode ever. He performs as Show Devils with a girl named Serana Rose who I talked to a lot and is rad as hell. Actually they were both pretty great humans and their show was on point.
My favorite performance though was that of my homegirl Miss Crash who once again put on one of the better suspension performances I have seen. She brings out a series of hot half naked girls doing insane suspensions like resurrections and one knee suspensions and horribly painful things like that and then she comes out, does a strip tease, stabs her self with a bunch of skewers and then flings herself about like a mad woman. It’s all pretty awesome unless you are horrified by people hanging from flesh hooks in which case you should probably avoid this gallery.
Anyway, the actual normal tattoo convention stuff is pretty minimal because I was too tired to do actual work and shooting performances is easy. But there is some good stuff in here and some NSFW stuff which I know you love. So yeah…
