Normally you’d have to consume a week’s worth of reality television to experience the dizzying array of human spectacle planned for the Immersed In Ink tattoo and alternative art festival coming to Dayton this weekend. If the thought of 3 days of circus sideshows, roller derby girls, midget wrestling, human suspension and live tattooing gets your motor running, then this convention will have you hittin’ on all cylinders.
The 2010 Immersed In Ink Tour makes a pit stop at Hara Arena, Oct. 15-17 with a full schedule of spectacular events. The convention showcases artists from all over the world and Dayton’s hottest inkers will be there to showcase their skill with the drill! Modified Skin, of Dayton and Lambadi City Tattoos, of Troy are a few of the local shops scheduled for live tattooing at the show.
In addition to the live events, Immersed In Ink Magazine will be covering the show and conducting an Alternative Model Search for all 3 days of the show, with the winner awarded a multiple page photo spread. Vendors will be on hand selling tattoo supplies and apparel also. Parking is free.
Peep the schedule below, then go online to buy your tickets. Tickets will also be available the days of the event, cash only.
