Famous tattoo artists
Like any good convention, suppliers were on hands hawking the latest in tattoo products. A supplier booth at the Beijing tattoo shows costs 1,500 USD, a substantial fee for mainland China’s tattoo merchants. Seventy-six suppliers from China, Indonesia, France, Germany and England rented booths for the occasion.
According to the convention’s official site, the aim of the event was for tattoo enthusiasts to “use their imagination to experience and join in the happy art dimension.” While there is no specific theme of the Chinese tattoo show, the convention’s planners focus on xiu, the concept of the Chinese tattoo that “connects everyone, expresses affection, and helps people communicate more.”
