Glamour at the Tattoo Convention

There are pretty girls everywhere you look. Some are performers, some stall holders, others calendar girls, pin up models, I am sooooo jealous.

Unique fashions can be found at many of the Tattoo Conventions but pribably the London one is the best for clothing stalls.

Another gentleman photographed at the London Tattoo Convention over the weekend. Not all visitors or vendors are extreme but all seem willing to pose for the camera. I don't think I have ever been refused at a Tattoo Convention.

LOVE


Went to the London Tattoo Convention over the weekend and came back with lots of interesting photos as per usual. Tattoo conventions are ideal photo opportunities. Here I am being photographed with 'The Scary Guy'. In 1998 Earl Kenneth Kaufmann changed his name by deed poll to The Scary Guy. His motive:- "The Total Elimination of Hate, Violence and Prejudice Worldwide," Scary has worked with over 7 million people around the world teaching anti-bullying, tolerance and acceptance of being different.
Various forms of entertainment could be found in different areas around the Tobacco Dock location.
On this occasion the young lady was dancing (erotically) and laying/bouncing around in a bath filled with broken glass.

Yes he is totally inked up!

Big G on a good day

Met Gary at the London Tattoo Convention. Louise and Gary are a great couple and Gary really isn't as grumpy as he looks.

Barefoot and pregnant

Paulina is due in November & I wish her the very best. It was a long hard day and she did brilliantly. I thought this photo idea was appropriate for the model. I didn't want to glamourize motherhood for its not. It's hard work, rewarding yes, but still hard work for 18 years plus..

Veronique, a 3rd year college student studying Illustration, was my favorite model. She really got into the acting side of all my ideas, no matter how surreal, during the course of the photoshoot.
