Plus, I was really looking forward to the MMA fights that were scheduled!
The fights were supposed to be on from 12 to 4. So I moseyed around the expo for an hour. Then grabbed 2 beers and settled down in the arena. I was all set to chill out for a few hours and watch some ass kicking. But 5 minutes after I sat down, the last fight was over and the lights went off. Lol
I guess a bunch of the fights were finished in the first round and quite a few fighters pulled out at the last minute.

| "Good morn' sir, fancy a bully tattoo?" |
Oh well, I still had a good time seeing all the artists on display and people watching.

| This guy travels to the expos with the artist to show off his masterpiece |
 |
| 240 hours of tattoo work. Pfffftttt. Is that all? |
Most of the tattooing I saw was retro or Maori style, not really what I'm looking for but the talent was still very impressive.
There was a lot more then just tattooing on display.
 |
| Lots of booths selling Hot Topic overstock |
 |
| Destroy the brain and sever the head. |
I was able to see graphic artists.
 |
| Graffiti Art. I've always dug the Cheshire Cat for some reason. |
 |
| Graffiti on display |

| Airbrush body painting |
 |
| A few hours later. |
 |
| I didn't see the finished work, the process I watched was taking several hours. But I think she's almost finished. |
And even some stunt bikes.
 |
| "Did you reinforce the take-off ramp?" "No. We didn't have time" "Cool......" |
 |
| Sweeeeeeeet. |
 |
