Ink-Virgins No More
The Fifth Annual Icelandic Tattoo Expo
September 2-4 | Hótel Saga - Hagatorg, 107 (G1) | Admission: TBA
Yes, it hurts. Yes, it does last forever. No, it doesn’t “mean”
anything. Yes, it will be there when I’m 70. Trust us, get a
tattoo and you’ll be answering these questions for the rest of
your life. At the same time, though, get a tattoo and you’ll also
look like a hardcore badass for the rest of your life. Fair trade?
You decide. Ready to commit? The Icelandic Tattoo Expo is
back for its fifth year, and world-class artists will be there,
needles in hand, ready to ink you up. Pro Tip: It’s a tattoo ma-
chine, not a gun. Other Pro Tip: Take a shower before you get
tatted. Don’t be that guy. HJC
