Freakshow comes to Philadelphia (No, not the Mayor's Race)

I was headed to my weekly Young Republicans meeting on Saturday when I made an extreme left turn and wound up at the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention at the Sheraton, Franklin Plaza, at 17th and Race Streets in Center City. The gathering of tattoo and body-modification enthusiasts started on Friday and continues through Sunday, Feb. 4. If you make it today, check out Mike Shrapnel's band, Only Flesh. Mike and his fellow musicians play their songs while suspended by hooks embedded in their backs. Good times.

How do you know where tattoo conventions are and do you have to buy tickets to get into them?

[DizzyDerwish]

Not kind to say "Freakshow".

It's comforting to see our society has grown to be more accepting of psychotic people and their admirers. It gives many who would otherwise be institutionalized and studied a place- and dare I say- even a degree of usefulness.

More like the bored white people with nothing better to do Convention.

[dillonhe]

They all say the same thing... "I'm a unique individual". "I'm expressing myself". "I'm different". "It's art".

GET OVER IT!!!

Get a penis implant on your forehead... That's artistically different. It's the ultimate way of self expression.
