Highlights of LTC 2011 at The Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool

Set in the splendor of the Adelphi hotel, a gorgeous Edwardian building in the heart of Liverpool.  With over 200 booths set amongst the labyrinth of rooms there was plenty to feast your eyes on, and with amazing artists under one roof, it was certainly guaranteed success!

Once in the main entrance of the convention you were hit with an amazing staircase and the grandeur of the interior

If you were able to tear yourself away from stalls and many vendors a true "ink addict" would of been mesmerised with the sounds of 200+ tattooists and the distinct noise of the tattoo guns...for me it is bliss!

The convention was a rip roaring success with friends bumping into each other all weekend. I loved the venue and the line up was superb, my only criticism was nowhere to sit?!  When you want to chill with friends and new acquaintances whilst taking in the atmosphere, an area to sit and give your drinking arm some exercise was essential! The building was outstanding and although the main room was remarkably warm it did create the backdrop to a perfect day.

Having watched several friends get their ink fix, (have a look at the slide show for photo's), it was my turn! I had poured over my design for days and welcomed my tattoo from Sharron Caudill at Northern Soulhttp://northernsoultattoo.weebly.com/

3 stencils and 4.5hrs later and my outline was done for my William Morris inspired sleeve.......Now I have to wait for Tattoo Jam for the next installment. I hope you enjoy the pics

Bye for now
