Tattoo and body-piercing fan Elaine Dickinson, right with an
unidentified friend pose for pictures during London's International
Tattoo Convention, Friday Oct. 7, 2005. The first ever London
convention kicked off Friday as more than 150 of the world's best
tattoo artists from as far as Australia, Japan, Greece and Italy
arrived to share their craft with veterans and newcomers to body
art. The convention-goers can schedule appointments or stop by for
a spur-of- the-moment tattoo, depending on the artist and
organizers expect at least 15,000 people to attend this weekend.
