Inked spent an amazing few days at the Full Moon Tattoo & Horror Festival in Nashville, TN May 13-15th. In its 10th year, the festival was the perfect mix of horror & tattoos. 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 ......

For me i envied these artists for their talent and their knowledge but never had ......
For all the feng shui and tai chi, Hong Kong isn't just about traditional pastimes. The massive city is awash in cool bars, amazing attractions, and an all around progressive flair.
