end of an era

and so ends the 17th annual NYC tattoo Convention at Roseland Ballroom. a beautiful mix of people from all walks of life brought together through art. although they will hold the convention in another venue next year.... I will miss the history and nostalgia and character of the Roseland Ballroom. I have made some wonderful friends at the convention over the years.. some who I now consider family. some of the best people I know are tattooed and pierced with hearts of gold.
