Shot a number of more traditional 'tribal' (Oceanic) orientated tattoo events some time ago, so when I saw the announcement of this one my curiosity was obviously triggered
Bit of a let down, not so much 'tribal' but more the 'fantasy' 'horror' stuff that lately has become popular following TV shows like Inkmaster etc, with plenty of tattoo ink and suffering in silence around, in a badly lit factory hall like venue
Still a great opportunity to get out the DF and 1.4/58mm to do some old fashioned low light 'documentary' shooting taking advantage of its high ISO capacities and amazing shadow recovery, a far cry from pushing Tri-X over ISO 800 and hoping for the best
