Ecuador
By Nick Baxter - Nick Baxter
This sleeve was the client's tribute to his childhood growing up in Quito, Ecuador, featuring his favorite childhood things and places. The mountain landscape across his shoulders was a coverup of an old tribal tattoo, and represents the famous Andes peak he could see from his childhood apartment building, which is depicted on the inner arm. Also featured are his favorite species of Ecuadorian bird, flowers, and tree, as well as one of the beetles he used to catch as a child. On his forearm was an existing angel tattoo that I reworked and incorporated into the rest of the sleeve. These photos were taken upon completion of the piece, since he traveled from Ecuador for the work and I won't be able to easily meet him again for the preferred healed photos.

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.
