VENTURA, Calif. – The Seaside Tattoo Show made its mark this weekend in Ventura.
The event returned to the Ventura County Fairgrounds for a three-day run, though this year it was held in a different building.
Artists from around the world, including South Korea, were taking appointments.
The show also featured an artist from Nebraska who designed this year’s official show poster.
“What inspired it, I would say the area. We are right by the ocean, so I just kind of encapsulated all that in the ship and the waves,” said artist J. Barnett.
One of his friends and customers traveled from Altadena to get another tattoo on her arm.
“It hurts at first, and then it kind of wears off a little bit and you can relax,” said Jill Becker.
Local artist Horacio Martinez painted live on center stage while tattoo artists worked nearby.
The Seaside Tattoo Show ran from June 6–8 at the Ventura County Fairgrounds.
