The second annual Icelandic Tattoo Festival was held in Grand
Rokk during the weekend June 8 to 10. Among the respected
artists that visited Grand Rokk that weekend were: Santana, JJ
& GP, Jason June & Cheryl “The Devil”, Cline & Jason Thompson,
Bosco, Erin Lambert and Crowbar; with contribution from local
artists Fjölnir, Jón Páll, Búri, Sverrir, Jón Þór and Vincent.
Icelandic tattoo artists regard the festival as a learning
experience. With a lot of respected foreign artists visiting, the
festival offers a great opportunity to catch the fresh winds from
the international tattoo community that will not necessarily
travel to this isolated island in timely fashion through other
means.
Much like last year, which drew in the excess of 1,200
people, this year’s event proved to be a great success with a
constant stream of people visiting Grand Rokk to satisfy their
curiosity and many happy visitors left Grand Rokk sporting
brand new tattoos and every artist was booked solid through
the weekend. The Grapevine visited Grand Rokk on Saturday
and met some of the artists and some of the canvas. Take a
look.
