The Beauty of the Hell City Tattoo Festival

This Labor Day weekend I spent at the Arizona Biltmore hotel, which is best known for it's rich heritage steeped in Frank Lloyd Wright folklore and as of this weekend it hosted a tattoo festival.

It was nothing short of amazing and I fell in love with the artists and attendees. They were all so beautiful in any and every way. I know that many times the tattooed person is stigmatized because of their choices for ink work, but I got there and was surprised but the lovely, gentle, excited and openness of both the artists and attendees.

Everyone I met was trusting to share their heart with me about their tattoos. It was nothing short of lovely.

I'm looking forward to next year when the tattoo festival returns to the Arizona Biltmore in August from the 27th-29th. Start picking your design now! Enjoy the photos courtesy of Collin Ghosh of Passion Photography.
