Laughlin Tattoo Convention 2008
April 24, 25, 26 — Laughlin, NV. While thunderous motorcycles roar outside, the buzz of ink is in the air at the 2008 Laughlin Tattoo Convention on the second floor of the Aquarius Casino Resort (formerly the Flamingo). This event, presented by tattoo legends Larry Topping and Catfish Carl along with Dave Miller (Dave’s Body Jewelry) boasted 100+ artists with portfolios on display and tools in hand to create more beautiful ink on skin. We stopped in to check it out, and it was everything we hoped for; live music, entertainment, tattoo contests, vendors, seminars, friendly and colorful people, and a full bar.
We caught up with our buddy Clark North from Las Vegas as he was applying his handiwork.

John Millhouse was showing his amazing work.
Completed 06/06/06, John has invested 5-1/2 years (413 hours) into becoming the walking art statement you see here - one of the most awesome demonstrations of picture perfect symmetrical art anywhere. At last count, he numbered 276 skulls and a plethora of other imagery adorning his heavily tattooed body.
