Mandalacules
By Nick Baxter - Nick Baxter
Savanna came to me with an unfinished forearm tattoo by the awesome biomech tattooer Jason Vogt which, due to life curcumstances was doubtful to ever be finished by Jason, so I took on the full sleeve expansion request with the mindset of a collaborative tattoo between he and I, trying to blend into and enhance what he had started in a complimentary fashion. To make things even more complicated, there was also a small color mandala tattoo on her forearm by tattooer David Guy, which needed to be incorporated. These factors inspired my idea of psychedelic molecules containing mandalas in various stages of unfolding complexity...thus, the Mandalacule was born. This project, althoug challenging at first, was tons of fun, and we are both pleased with the result! And hopefully the other tattooers are as well!

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.
