day off tatts

Last August 26-27, the annual tattoo expo event called Dutdutan was held at World Trade Center Pasay City, Manila. Its a convention wherein local and international tattoo artists gathered to showcase their art and to educate the public about this eccentric and unique lifestyle.

Its quite a lively event with drum duels, live action combat, bikini open photo shoot by FHM models and of course cat walk of the tattoo works of the artists. Despite of the heavy rains brought by typhoon Mina, a lot of people still attended the event to witness this wonderful craft and of course to enjoy the free show of beautiful models and free drinks ^_^

May this culture continue to grow and may the public be more open to them and accept them as a form of art and creativity.
