Body Art Festival
The Oklahoma Body Art Festival was held the weekend of September 15-17 at The Hive in Tulsa. It focused on all types of body art and featured tattooing and live music (two of my very favorite things — together!). I would have been there, if I hadn’t had a previous engagement (see two entries ago). There was also a car show, a bike show and over 30 artists, including tattooists, piercers and other body artists, on location. There were also a appearances by renowned artists Kat von D from the TLC channel’s show “Miami Ink” and Enigma.
I would have been there, had it not been for a previous engagement (see the post before last). I got to see it from across the street, because we had our rehearsal dinner at Spaghetti Warehouse in Tulsa, but I did not realize what it was until long after the fact, when I stumbled across the Web site.
There is an informative description of the history of tattooing, found on the festival’s Web page.
