INKEDblog takes you beneath the skin of today's tattoo culture. Our mission is to celebrate tattooing as a modern art form which incorporates art, fashion, style, and pop culture. While paying homage and respect to the past, we look to present a contemporary take on the present and future of skin art.

Tattoo Convention in the Salt Palace

conventa.jpg

Where can you find a huge gathering of tattoo artists and celebrities from all over the world this weekend? Not New York, not Los Angeles, but… Salt Lake City.

Though at its conception three years ago Salt Lake City was considered an odd place to host the convention, it has been wildly successful and promises to provide even more thrills this year.
Organized by CJ Starkey, many famous artists will attend including Jack Rudy (known for his improvements in single line tattooing), and Gil Montie (world renowned tattoo artist). Other artists from around the globe will be present and most ready to administer some truly unique tattoos.

The convention will run from Thursday through Sunday and will be filmed on behalf of A&E’s INKED. Not only will some of the cast of INKed be present, but an episode will also be filmed during the convention.

Are you attending the tattoo convention? Tell us about your favorite tattoo or artist!
