Milan Tattoo Convention

Hey everyone. Just got back from Italy, and had a great trip. I won "Best of Show" with a pinup I did without any reference. It was challenging and fun. I also got to freehand a skull on a guy from Rome. The other pieces I worked on were ongoing projects fro the London Tattoo Convention last year. Other than that, We got to spend a day in Florence, a day in Milan, and a day in Venice. I'm definitely planning on doing some paintings of Venice. What an amazingly beautiful city.
I've got three more european shows planned this year after the Detroit Tattoo Convention next weekend, and The Lady Luck Tattoo expo in Reno a couple weekends after that. I'm gonna head out to Bob Tyrrell's place for a couple days before the Detroit show for some tattooing and inspiration. I'll be teaching my seminar, "Gut Level Tattooing" at the reno show and have been talking to Nikko Hurtado about teaming up with him to do a joint seminar at some show this year.
