From those excited to meet their favorite horror film stars to those looking for some new ink, we had an awesome time meeting the crowd and checking out a ton of tattoos. There was NO shortage of tattoo talent; The crew from Lone Wolf Body Art, Eric Newby from Ink Expressions, Bodean from Bodean’s Tattoos and Body Piercing, Vince Villalvazo from All or Nothing Tattoo & Arts Studio and the crew from Truth & Triumph Tattoo…to just name a few. We also had a great time meeting and mixing with big film legends like Malcolm McDowell (The Clockwork Orange) Tyler Mane (Halloween) Sig Haig (House of a Thousand Corpses) and of course Gary Busey. In addition, there was a new element added to the show this year; an Independent Horror Film Festival, which had films screening all weekend, making it a truly interesting and unique show. A BIG thanks ......
