A big international tattoo event under the title ‘No Limits’ took place in New York City from April 5 till April 7, 2019. The venue chosen for this convention was Resorts World Casino in Jamaica, New York (“No limits tattoo expo New York 2019,” 2019). It was organized and presented by the United Ink Productions. The event planners invited more than 250 tattoo masters from different countries of the world to work during the convention.
Also, many vendors and tattoo-related necessities suppliers gathered in New York at the beginning of April to impress the visitors (“No limits tattoo expo New York 2019,” 2019). Besides the opportunities to make a tattoo, the people who attended ‘No Limits’ could participate in body art presentations, enjoy live shows, listen to good music, and buy different products from the tattoo industry.
This was my first time visiting a tattoo convention, and I was impressed by the scope of the events and the diversity of available entertainment. I believe that tattoo making is art, and it was proven by the work of the many masters I saw at little workshops installed all over the venue. One could get any kind of tattoo instantly; moreover, there were exhibitions of multiple impressive works of some renowned masters from around the globe.
The diversity of colors, styles, and techniques was astonishing. However, there were many people in queues waiting for a tattoo to be made, which was inconvenient. I like tattoos and would have got one at No Limits International Tattoo Expo, but the prices were too high, so it did not seem reasonable.
Many shows were organized within the convention. All of them were united by the theme of tattoo making and body modification. As it was stated by the planners, the casino where the event took place was a good location for a convention of such kind because hundreds of people could easily walk inside and enjoy the performances. The age restriction at ‘No Limits’ forbade children under 18 years old from attending, and I did not see any minors around. Also, there were many beginners in this industry who could use this event as a master class or buy some products which were available from numerous suppliers participating in the convention.
Another interesting feature of the event is that it was not limited to tattooing only. For those who were either afraid or had other limitations to enjoying tattoo making, body art entertainment was available. Many visitors participated and had their bodies brightly decorated. However, even for spectators, it was very interesting to observe the works of masters in this industry. Some pieces were very realistic and impressed me with the level of expertise the masters possessed. High-quality audio equipment and good energetic music that was playing both live on stage and from records added more positive emotions to the mood of everyone visiting.
In conclusion, No Limits International Tattoo Expo 2019 that took place in New York from April 5 till April 7, 2019, was a massive event devoted to the art of tattoos. I was impressed with the organization of the event, where I could see highly qualified tattoo masters from different countries of the world working live. I did not get a tattoo myself because of high prices and long queues. However, having observed spectacular performances and works of tattoo specialists, I would love to attend more similar events.
