Saturday, October 22nd was an historic day at the San Jose Tattoo
Convention, put on by State of Grace (Horitaka), in San Jose, California.
Not only was it a well-organized and exciting gathering of artists, it was
also the backdrop for a group of artists to collaborate for the first time
together on a one-day/one-backpiece project, dubbed "Four Women, One
Lucky
Guy."
Cecelia Altamirano and Bling Bling Roxx (both of Braindrops, San
Francisco), Leslie Mah (Diving Swallow, Oakland), and Tex (Body
Manipulations, San Francisco) collaborated on the design as well as the
execution of the Barong (Balinese-style mask), at times tattooing three
up! It was tight, but it got done in a little over 5 & 1/2 hours, and the
patient (Josh) survived with mild shock, and a brand-new backpiece! Many
thanks to all the artists involved, to Josh (for being a good sport and
not passing out), and to Braindrops, for hosting us in their booth.
