here are some of the shots i took at Dutdutan '08, the annual Philippine Tattoo Expo. i was there only for a few hours but i had such a cool time! so many interesting things to see and photograph!
it was a good thing i was able to watch the judging for the Best Female Large Piece. such magnificent skin art! i think women with tattoos absolutely rock! (but op kors!...hehehe...) strangely sexy too! just take a look for yourself here...
"A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye. As a tattoo is grounded on living skin, so its essence emotes a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition." ~V. Vale and Andrea Juno, Modern Primitives
got me a new one recently but not at Dutdutan kasi baka di ako makaconcentrate sa photos..hehe.. ;-P check out my latest entries on the blog section for my kwento on that :-D
cool! meron din pala d2 yan.. kala ko sa tv shows like miami ink, la ink, tattoo wars lang mkita nang ganda ng drawings
yeah! ako din nagulat. i always thought the pinoy tattoists here are talented but i never thought the tattoo afficionado community here is that big pala! amazed din ako at how many women have such large pieces. cool nga talaga. :-D
