The event gave attendees a chance to see different styles and get inked on site. Kodi Klocinski traveled from his shop in Toledo to participate in the convention for the third year.

"It kinda gives people the opportunity to get tattooed by world class artists in one area, so you don’t have to search for an artist. You can come here, get a nice tattoo and be happy with what you got," Klocinski said.

Throughout the weekend, artists worked for hours on detailed pieces, with some competing for top honors in front of judges and crowds. Klocinski said his shop was in the running for the best in show award.

"I’m here to win. Through the last two days with 21 hours of work," Klocinski said.
