Thailand hosts Tattoo Arts festival
The 2nd World Tattoo Arts Festival and Exhibition Thailand is set to open for the second time in the country, with festivities kicking off may 16th on Pattaya’s Bali High beach. 70 booths from artists from around the world will be set up, and organizers hope that hosting the prestigious event will give Thailand’s tattooing industry a reputation of quality on par with other countries known for their skilled tattooists like Japan, the United States and Germany.
The convention’s theme will focus on traditional Thai art styles and the evolution of the art form into contemporary times. With over 7,000 visitors to last year’s event, organizer Suphatchaya Lattisophonkul says she hopes that the festival will give the Thai tattoo industry a good name as it showcases its advances in professional ethics, equipment while showcasing its skilled artists. The event will last for three days, finishing up on May 18th.
