Judgment Lapses On Display at Long Beach Tattoo Convention

Waiting for the right time to get that Virgin of Guadalupe towering over a lowrider chest tattoo? You’re in luck–the 2nd Annual Long Beach Tattoo and Music Festival at the Queen Mary takes place today through Sunday.

With 180 top artists from all over the world, rebel-conformists and conformist-rebels should have no problem inking tribal arm bands, Chinese shoulder characters, lower back butterflies or ankle clownfish.

Head on down to enjoy the BBQ and full bar and check out the cirque performers, flash contest, live music and Kustom carshow. More enterprising individuals can enter one of thirteen tattoo contest categories.

Word of advice: no matter how much in love you think you are right now, do NOT get a tattoo of your boyfriend or girlfriend’s name! And in the event of a serious lapse in judgment, trained professionals will be on hand to remove your masterpiece.
