Dispatch from the 2011 New York City Tattoo Convention (A Recap)

This was my third trip to the show, and each year, I have a different experience, as Tattoosday has evolved as a site (read about 2009 <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2009/05/dispatch-from-new-york-city-tattoo.html">here</a> and 2010 <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/05/dispatch-from-nyc-tattoo-convention.html">here</a>).<br /><br />In years past, I have only highlighted one or two pieces, as I go into sensory overload. What, outside of a convention's setting, would normally pique my interest, seems commonplace and ordinary. This year, however, I took many more photos, and actually interviewed four people, so this will be Convention Recap Week.<br /><br />I do want to say the best part of the show was hanging and chatting with Marisa and Brian from <a href="http://www.needlesandsins.com/">Needles and Sins</a>, as well as with Nathan from <a href="http://www.knuckletattoos.com/">Knuckle Tattoos</a>. It's not a portrait of future world domination, yet, but here's the three of us, masterminds of three of the best tattoo sites around, and hands and above, the best three inkbloggers at the show:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNWfTp3Zz6Gk87Q_U0q8EJyN9jt3j7zH2a3_Rmh0OLEKY2Sb-feTFq3_nsJWr4B9qqOyFDagODGNY4Q0F1GxS4ETrueqYM5tUy2TkAme7Q5dzZwXSOGoGUKo6kLAVI4jHgy6VRT7amm18/s1600/Three+Bloggers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNWfTp3Zz6Gk87Q_U0q8EJyN9jt3j7zH2a3_Rmh0OLEKY2Sb-feTFq3_nsJWr4B9qqOyFDagODGNY4Q0F1GxS4ETrueqYM5tUy2TkAme7Q5dzZwXSOGoGUKo6kLAVI4jHgy6VRT7amm18/s400/Three+Bloggers.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nathan, Marisa and Me (photo by Brian Grosz)</td></tr></tbody></table>That moment of self-adulation aside, I spent the first few hours talking to vendors about advertising, chatting with colleagues, and saying hello to people I've met in years past, like <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/05/dispatch-from-nyc-tattoo-convention.html">Greg</a> who was the high point of last year's show for me.<br /><br />I also like to introduce myself to artists whose work has appeared on the Site before, so I said hi to <a href="http://rosenthaltattoo.com/">Adam Rosenthal</a> of <a href="http://www.thinktanktattoo.com/">Th'Ink Tank</a> in Denver, and <a href="http://www.tattoosbyvinny.com/Tattoos_by_Vinny/Welcome.html">Vinny Romanelli</a> at <a href="http://redrockettattoo.com/">Red Rocket</a> in NYC.<br /><br />I also took a slew of photos of people I didn't interview, so I will just throw them up here. Unfortunately I can't credit any of the amazing artists responsible. However, if you see your work here, shoot me an email and I can give you your proper due. Many of these shots were taken during the first round of the contest, which centered around black and gray work:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
