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.

Sean Herman recently updated his website with his latest tattoo work, blog updates, and pictures from the road.

One of the videos Sean added to the site was from A Year at the Wheel, where Sean was interviewed about anarchy, art, and tattoos. It was filmed back in 2008, in which Sean discusses his thoughts on government (or lack of,) and the tattoo industry. I wonder if Sean feels any different about politics or the tattoo industry now?

I’ll be the first to admit I’m a long time admirer of Sean Herman’s work. I had the pleasure of meeting him several years ago at the Northern Ink Xposure convention in Toronto and I was instantly blown away not only by the quality of his work, but his sense of humor and something bordering on humility about what he does for a living. All in all, a great dude–which is all the more reason for you to scope out his recently updated website (www.seanherman.com) complete with new photos and tales of his recent travels through Canada.

Someday I hope I’m fortunate enough to be in the same town as him long enough to get myself a sweet tattoo. In the meantime, I’ll just be envious of the person rocking the piece pictured below.

Unless you’re living in a cave, you’ve heard of Sean Herman over the past couple of years. If you’ve been to a major tattoo convention, chances are you’ve passed his booth as well. Sean attends an absurd amount of tattoo conventions, and when he’s not traveling – he’s tattooing. His calendar clearly shows he doesn’t stop.

I believe the tattoo below is still in progress, and it certainly showcases Sean’s talents. At the next convention you attend, stop by Sean’s booth and say hello. He always has an interesting booth, with enough content to distract you for a bit.
