The extremely awaited Bay Area Tattoo Convention (offered by TTTism) was held on the weekend of Might 16 to 18 on the Hyatt Regency resort in Burlingame, three-minutes away from the San Francisco airport. Many tattooists within the Bay Space have been ecstatic to be attending and bragging about it of their studios due to how difficult it was to get invited in. Because of this Scene360 was trying ahead to seeing it too, after consecutively protecting expos in California just like the Golden State, Santa Cruz, Frenso, Feather Falls, Santa Rosa, and extra. Though every occasion had its differential highlights, the Bay Area one was calmer when it comes to music performed on audio system within the convention room, which brought about much less distraction to spectators and extra concentrate on tattooing within the cubicles. Much like different US exhibits it displayed primarily native tattooers and the American conventional model, and in our opinion, it shined for bringing in illustrious tattooists comparable to Charlie Cartwright, Jack Rudy, Kari Barba, Tim Hendricks, Lindsey Carmichael and Chuey Quintanar.
