What an incredible weekend! After hosting this tattoo convention annually in San Diego, bringing it to Birmingham, Alabama, for the first time was both exciting and nerve-racking. I wasn’t sure how it would be received or what the turnout would look like, but you all showed up and made it something truly special. Every artist was busy, the energy was amazing, and there was a buzz all weekend about how great the convention turned out. A huge thank you to all the artists and clients who came out, especially those who traveled from several states away to be a part of it. The support, the atmosphere, and the turnout made this our best convention yet. Birmingham, you showed up, and I couldn’t be more grateful. This is just the beginning! These photos were made with a Nikon F5, a Pentax 6x7 & Some shitty little point and shoot camera. Film was processed and scanned by Southerlands photo.
PS: If you decide to use any of these photos that’s fine. Just tag & @jerimiahsmith if that’s not to much to ask. I also accept film and art trades, much love!
