SIX 2010 Tattoo Convention- Feature/Article in My Culture Mag

A while back I did a feature for My Culture Mag about the 2010 Southern Ink Xposure or SIX Tattoo Convention held in Cape Town, South Africa. I wrote an article (which I think was one of the better things I had written in ruffly the whole 6 months prior) as well as sent them a batch of top class images from the different 3 rolls of film I had taken during the week of mayhem. If you are keen for a decent read or into tattoos at all, maybe even just looking for something interesting click the link below and check out the article.... enjoy-

2010 SIX(Southern Ink Xposure) was a BUZZIN' weekend

The 2010 SIX (Southern Ink Xposure) Convention was held in Cape Town from the 22nd-24th of January and is currently the only international Tattoo convention in Africa. It was a jam pack weekend of Tattoo mayhem from exhibitions to parties to the strongly felt presence of an infamous angelic biker crew. Yours truly, the one and only DJ Just Be..? rocked a 1 hour special guest DJ set filled with simply the freshest (and a touch of ruffness'). Cats were loving it and all the homoies back in their stalls pieceing knew who had taken over the sound waves; Paul 'King of rock Tattoos' Booth (jokes brv!!) even cruzed over during my set so say he was feelin' the beats. I was super amped on that. I shot a bunch of rad images here are some of the bru's....


Tyler B. Murphy loving life at the Man's Ruin Afterparty and sketching away would be Rico Swanepoel and Buffy Bravehreat. The homie D' took a photo with my B&W camera of me droping beats. Props to some of the Tattoo Artist there were some real works of epidermal art going down as well......

























I did a Photo Feature Slide show on some of the action that went down for thebombsurf.com check it out, click the image or the link. I am doing a Feature Article for My Culture Magazine and that will have the goods along with the real gems I shot over the weekend, so I'll let everyone know when its out so u can go buy it!!! Safe-
