The Phoenix Body Art Expo was held at the Arizona State Fairgrounds Friday, and was the centerpiece of artwork — both on canvases and human bodies.
Tattoo artists gathered from around the country. The artists were friendly and professional; they shared their artwork with both fellow artists and spectators alike.
There was a connection between the act and myself: I could feel my heart pounding against my chest.
As the man was lifted up and spun around, he then was hanging upside down — from his knees. You could see the blood dripping from the wounds as people were encouraged to cheer for him.
The Phoenix Body Art Expo was a unique and enjoyable experience that was definitely not for the faint of heart — or those sensitive to seeing blood.
