I've never been to a tattoo convention before, but compared to my past history of tattoo conventions I've attended, this one was grrreat.

It was a little confusing as to when bands were playing and when competitions were happening since the schedules weren't listed beforehand. Hopefully they organize that stuff a bit better next year. I attended all three days, but didn't realise there were bands the first night, so I left, like many other people, and missed Zimmershole and the other band was playing. I caught the second night's bands.... some band I forget, who I wasn't into, really, and half the set of the Swollen Members. They were entertaining. I missed the bands on Sunday night due to Monday obligations forcing me back to the rock.

Aaaand what else? Lots of people... yep... in a building... many people were getting tattooed, like me by Leroy (Aza) from Dragon FX Edmonton. I'm very happy with my new and revamped work.

I entered the piece of trash on my leg in the Worst Tattoo at the convention contest, but I LOST to a home-done, half-completed dragon above a guys knee. Wah. It was funny anyways and the announcer said the name of the guy who did the shitty work. He was there, so I felt big and strong about that.

That is my review of VanTat #1. - Tue, 1 Jun 2004 2:22pm

Dang, Zimmers Hole is not to be missed, that gigantic cock of Val's is alluring. - Sat, 5 Jun 2004 10:46am

Is it just me, or am I one of the few people to not have a tattoo?!? Like Ozzy said, "If you want to be different, don't get a tattoo!" :) - Sat, 5 Jun 2004 2:25pm

No tats here. I only like body-art on other people. - Sat, 5 Jun 2004 4:43pm

I'll get my tattoo done eventually, it's not a cash issue, I just have to have a decent reason to do it, already got the artist lined up too... All I want is a Eye of Isis with a upside down triangle surrounding the eye... if your wise to Egyptian myth, you'll understand why I plan to get it done. - Sat, 5 Jun 2004 10:29pm

I didn't know I had to inform everyone he was coming. He was listed on the Van Tat website. Have you called him lately?

We took the ferry back over to Victoria together for him to pick up his kid. He left the next morning for Edmonton.

That is the latest Leroy update. - Sun, 6 Jun 2004 3:39pm
