Liquid ink turned into solid art – that’s an accurate description of what happened at Thailand Tattoo Expo 2018. I’ve already posted some photos in part 1. Now enjoy part 2.

Thailand Tattoo Expo 2018 – part 1
The 4th Titanic International Tattoo Convention
In July there was another epic tattoo convention in Belfast – the 4th Titanic International Tattoo Convention. Pure satisfaction.

WordPress’ Weekly Photo Challenge this week asks us to post something that’s unusual (in some way for you). If you’ve seen my previous post, you already know that I was in Belfast during the weekend to attend the 4th Titanic International Tattoo Convention.

A Little Taste From The Titanic
Once again I went to the Titanic International Tattoo Convention in Belfast. Last year we had a lot of fun (you can check out all the photos from last year on the tattoo part of my blog) and this year we also had a lot of fun.
Here’s just a few of the highlights. I’ll post more later on (next days, next week, something like that).
Torii’s bum has a unique flavor.
My Road Is Filled With Ink
At the tattoo conventions in Warsaw (Poland), Marseille (France), Milano (Italy), Linas (France) and Bangkok (Thailand), I was captured by some friends and fellow tattoo photographers.
Warning: This is a total ego-tripping post: photos of me at tattoo conventions, plus a few from couchsurfing parties. If you ever wondered: Life as a tattoo photographer is filled with ink.

There were lots of people at Thailand Tattoo Expo and a dense population of beautiful, tattooed women. I like it like that.
I think I’m in love…

Milano Tattoo Convention
Jakub, Sylwia and Max.
Here’s a few highlights from Milano Tattoo Convention that took place 3-5th of February. I’ve shared plenty of photos on Flickr where the photos are also tagged with the name of artists etc, so if you’re interested in seeing more, I strongly recommend the Flickr album.
Interview with Ru Hwan | Tattooing in Korea
Tattooing in Korea – is it legal? Is it illegal? That would be “yes” to both questions. “What? Wait. How can it be both legal and illegal at the same time?” In this interview with Korean tattoo artist Ru Hwan, we’ll find out more.
Technically speaking, tattooing is legal in Korea (yes, this article is about South Korea of course), but you’ll need to be a licensed doctor in order to perform this type of “skin surgery”.
Now imagine yourself that you’re at the end of six years of medical studies at the university, it’s time to decide which path to choose: should you become a GP, a skin specialist, a surgeon or perhaps you should go wild and chase your childhood dream of becoming a tattoo artist?
Just like in every other country in the world, people with medical degrees don’t become tattoo artists – they become doctors – and that’s a good thing, because we all need someone who might be able to cure us when we are sick, but some of us also needs creative persons that can create art on our skin every now & then.
Graduation day at the Medical University: “Should I become a doctor or a tattoo artist?”

I don’t agree, but some people might use the word Transmogrify (“To change in appearance or form, especially strangely or grotesquely; transform.”) to describe tattoos. Transmogrify is the theme for WordPress’ Weekly Photo Challenge this week. You can see more entries for that challenge if you visit WordPress: https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/transmogrify/

The Titanic Afterparty
A photo gallery from the Titanic International Tattoo Convention after-party that was held at Cabaret Supper Club in Belfast.
The day after the party, I went to Iceland to look for GunnarV…,
but he wasn’t there…
Once again thanks to Mr. Carson & his family for arranging the convention and thanks for inviting me to the after-party. Much obliged.

Surprise, surprise! I got this message from the WordPress team today:
Let me also add, for those of you who don’t know, that I’ve had my tagline: «Encyclopedia Miscellaneous – ‘quality’ blogging since August 2011», since September 2011.
Both this after party and my WP anniversary is definitely a rare event, nothing you’ll see every day.
