I've had a pretty exciting week in terms of lifestuff, filled with a lot of good news and happy tidings, which I may get into once things get more officialized. In the meantime, have some photos of my very first tattoo convention: Lefty's Third Annual Tattoo Expo in Coralville.



I don't attend very many conventions, but the ones I have tended to be quite a bit larger than this one, which consisted of one ball room at a nearby convention center/hotel. So I was pleasantly surprised to find it significantly less claustrophobic than I'd expected (though I did go on the last day, when I imagine things had mellowed out). This being a smallish event in Iowa meant that the folks present were very friendly and talkative-but-not-in-an-obnoxious-way, which made for an overall enjoyable experience.
