The most important artists in the world at an extrodinary meeting with world tattoos: The London Tattoo Convention 2007
October 5, 2007 to October 7, 2007
The best tattoo artists in the world and a series of additional events will make this 2007 edition a hit. The organizers decided to repeat the experience and actually they had no other choice considering the enthusiasm showed by tattoo fans during last year's convention. There will be about 150 artists representing all the tattoo styles ticking away with their machines in an exciting atmosphere, where light-shows and music will become an integral part of the event, mingling with the artistic expressions of the artists at work. A convention that will be both a sort of art gallery and community festival. The location chosen for the 2006 edition is still the Old Truman Brewery, a charming building of the 700's (it was built in 1724) in Brick Lane, in the East End of London. The booths will be located on the three floors of the building which are very easy to access.
EXHIBITIONS:
Sabina Kelley
She calls herself simply a "burlesque-dancer", but Sabina is an international phenomenon. She brings to life the iconography of the pin-ups of the 50's with irony and incredible energy. Her rockabilly and strip-tease shows are a must.
Art Fusion Camp
Art Fusion has become a must for every convention. The visitors love it. During this year's Art Fusion Camp the creative energies of the finest tattoo artists will come to life in front of the visitors in a combination of ideas, styles and unique proposals.
Tattoo Contests
This is one of the most awaited moments of the convention. A time in which the tattooed public become the protagonists. The tattoo contests are organized for the different categories (black & grey, small pieces, big pieces etc...) and every day artists and the visitors can take part in an exciting competition in which art and fun are the real winners.
Anthropological exhibition
The Anthropological Exhibition is back after the incredible success of 2005. A journey through the tattoo styles and techniques of different populations, cultures and traditions, searching for the deep religious and ritual meanings of tattoo art. The exhibition is organized by Lionel Titchener, a tattoo expert, creator of the British Tattoo History Museum and founder of the prestigious Tattoo Club Of Great Britain.
Suicide Girls
Suicide Girls is a contemporary lifestyle brand. Combining the DIY attitude of underground culture with a vibrant, sex positive community of women (and men), the company was founded on the belief that creativity, personality and intelligence are not incompatible with sexy, compelling entertainment, and millions of people agree. The site mixes the smarts, enthusiasm and DIY attitude of the best music and alternative culture with an unapologetic, grassroots approach to sexuality.
Vatea Tahiti
In Polynesian mythology, Vatea is the first man along with his wife Papa who generated the Hawaii islands. Vatea and Papa then lived there as the first man and woman. Vatea Tahiti take inspiration from these ancient legends and leave their mark at every convention with their impressive and colored traditional dances...
Les Soeurs Tribales
Les Soeurs Tribales are an all-female group of dancers that have been practicing and spreading "tribal belly dance" for the past years. Tribal belly dance originated in the US in the 80's and takes inspiration from traditional Oriental belly dancing, but it is a more creative and interpretative tribal style...
Even Seinfeld and Tera Patrick
Don't miss Evan Seinfeld and Tera Patrick at this year's London Convention. The couple just starred in the TV show SuperGroup, on channel VH1 in the US. Seinfeld, legendary bass player of Biohazard (one of the most important bands of the New York hardcore movement) just formed a super-group with guitarists Scott Ian (Anthrax) and Ted Nugent, drummer Jason Bonham (son of John Bonham, ex drummer of Led Zeppelin) and singer Sebastian Bach, and he is also working on the new series of the TV show Oz.
