For the Rebels and Dreamers
By Nick Baxter - Nick Baxter
My dedicated client Adrienne gave me the opportunity to rework this piece I did for her 10 years ago, a memorial to her friend who passed away.
Over time the contrast, brightness, and sharpness of all tattoos inevitably decrease as a natural result of the body's aging process and the limitations of tattoo pigments. After 10 years just about any tattoo could use a little maintainence, with the added bonus of being able to combine the newer layer of ink with the older one to achieve effects and subtlety not possible with any single layer of pigment. Many thanks to my clients who are willing to come back for a refresher on their older work!

Three days of becoming a better artists, tattooers, and people! The Rock River Tattoo Art Expo will combine aspects of artist-focused professional development events with the style of a larger tattoo convention, open to the public. The two convention floors will be filled with artist and vendor booths, with the artists showcasing not only tattooing but work in other mediums as well. Some booths will feature live painting alongside the tattoo booths. There will be additional vendor booths in some of the hallways and auxiliary spaces along with a museum exhibit showcasing some important tattoo artifacts including some of local significance. Throughout the weekend there will be activity on the main stage including interviews, talks by high-profile speakers, a historical discussion, tattoo art critiques, and a daily showcase of work that was completed on the convention floor.
