Cathy and Mike at the 1996 Richmond Tattoo Arts Festival. This convention is sponsored by Red Dragon Tattoo Studio and held the weekend before Thanksgiving each year at the Richmond Koger Center Holiday Inn. That's Billy Eason below on the right, owner of Red Dragon Tattoo Studio and the primary mind and energy behind the Richmond Convention. Philadelphia Eddie, legendary tattoo artist, is on the left.

It's generally agreed that this is one of the finest annual tattoo conventions around...people are genuinely welcomed to this event, by Billy, our Red Dragon host and by the large number of high quality artists from around the country who participate. A lot of ink gets done at this convention. It's also generally agreed that the Koger Center Holiday Inn, which turns itself over to the convention, goes out of its way to welcome the tattoo crowd.

We've included here a lot of pictures of the convention scene from the 1996-2003 conventions, many high quality tattoos, tattoo artists at work, a bit of discussion for those considering getting a tattoo, and some tattoo convention web links. Think about it...the sound of dozens and dozens of tattoo needles buzzzzing at once!
