The South Florida Tattoo Expo celebrated its 24th year earlier this month in Coral Springs. My FIRST POST in this three part series focused on the remarkable tattoo artists this expo attracts. This post will take a look at the unique entertainment the expo offers its guests. From some of South Florida’s hottest bands to some of South Florida’s hottest bodies, there’s more to the expo than tattoos. I mean, it might not be the most wholesome entertainment in some cases but it’s a tattoo expo, right? Right.
And the best part of it all? All proceeds benefit the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. That’s right. So let those who want to wave their freak flag high be free to do so – it’s for a good cause. Enjoy the photographs – but be warned: some of them are pretty raunchy!
***Oh, and the FULL GALLERY of images (these are just a few) are available over on my SmugMug site. Just saying***

All photographs of the South Florida Tattoo Expo were taken with my Pentax K-1 using the Pentax 24-70mm f/2.8, Pentax-FA 77mm F1.8 Limited, Irix 15mm f/2.4 and the Pentax-F 135mm f/2.8. Supported by the Spider Camera Holster SpiderPro Hand Strap (a must for the weighty K-1) and carried around in the Lowepro Slingshot Edge 250 camera bag.
