RICHMOND, Va. β One of the longest-running tattoo conventions drew more than 170 tattoo artists from around the world to Richmond this weekend.
Hundreds of attendees eager to get new ink attended the 37th annual Richmond Tattoo and Arts Convention at the Doubletree in Midlothian.
The convention has been a staple in the community since 1988, uniting industry founders, tattoo enthusiasts, artists, collectors and fans.
While showcasing tattoo art remains central to the event, organizers this year placed greater emphasis on the artistic aspects of tattooing to celebrate creativity and self-expression within the community.
Visitors who missed Saturday's activities can still attend on Sunday, with doors opening at noon.
