Following an unprecedented response in 2011, the Tattoo & Body Art Expo will once again bring the very best local and international tattoo artists to Melbourne, now taking place 9th to 11th November.
The largest event of its type in the southern hemisphere, the Tattoo & Body Art Expo will see more than 300 exhibitors descend onto South Wharf showcasing not only tattoos and body piercings, but also the latest fashion, body jewellery, books and magazines, tattoo supplies as well as temporary tattoos for the less adventurous.
Special guest at the Melbourne event will be star of TV’s L.A ink and tattoo legend with over 25 years experience, Corey Miller. The Californian is known for his freehand work, foregoing the stencil and drawing the image directly onto the skin, as well as an extensive celebrity client list including Metallica’s James Hettfield, Jason Giambi of the NY Yankees and American Chopper’s Jesse James.
Over the three days, the Tattoo & Body Art Expo will host a variety of free entertainment and shows, daily tattoo contests to reward awe-inspiring body art, and a silent auction for tattoo artist designed skate decks with all proceeds going to charity.
