Have you ever read or heard something that shocked you a little bit, and you quickly pull your head back? Yeah, that was my immediate reaction when I read that Kristel Oreto is moving to Philadelphia, and will be working at Art Machine Productions.

My current state of shock isn’t about Kristel or the fact she’ll be tattooing at Art Machine Productions, both of those are awesome. My shock merely comes from the level of tattooing in Philadelphia continues to rise… and rise… and rise. It’s seriously insane how many ridiculous artists live (or will be living) in that town.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think a bunch of people are really excited to go to Detroit this weekend!

The Detroit Motorcity Expo starts tomorrow and runs through Sunday. Amongst all of the great artists at the show, Kristel Oreto will be in attendance. Make sure you swing by her booth and say hello!

Right after Christmas, Florida local Kristel Oreto will be traveling to Art Machine in Philadelphia, PA.

I have no doubt these spots will book quickly, so if you’re interested in getting work – you should probably contact her sooner than later.

Just in time for back to school, Kristel Oreto has released her sketch and doodles book.

This book doesn’t actually have anything to do with school, but I can’t think of a better way to pass the time in those boring classes.

Jeremy Miller hit us up to tell us about his newest interview on Tattoo Sprout. Now Tattoo Sprout isn’t your typical tattoo blog, as it’s ran by Angel Oreto, ten year old daughter of Kristel Oreto.

Angel’s ten year old perspective is refreshing, and I think the blog has a ton of potential. How many ten year olds do you know that can explain what a new skool tattoo is?

As most of you probably know, this past weekend was the Detroit Motor City Tattoo Expo. This year marked the 15th anniversary of the show, and despite the bad weather – the turnout was great. The artist turn out was nothing short than stellar, and the floor was packed all weekend.

As always, I brought out my camera and tried to capture some of the quality work that surrounded me. I snapped entirely too many pictures to post on here, so I’m just going to post the cream of the crop. Please remember, my photography skills are amateur at best.

If you’re interested in seeing all of the mediocre pictures I took, become a fan of Tattoo Snob on Facebook. All of the pictures from this past weekend are posted in the albums.
