Drive Shows Tattoos at Tattoo Show

This just in from George at Drive Agency: "What’s better than an art exhibit? How do we top last year's skateboard show? An art exhibit with live tattooing of course. On May 16 from 5:30- 11:00 PM, Drive Agency will open its doors for the Sailor’s Grave Tattoo Art Show. We will be featuring original works submitted by tattoo artists across the nation. Also featured will be antique tattooing equipment. Joe Cumbee of Iron Age will be doing tattooing live at the event. So come out and see some original art, enjoy food, drinks, and live music. We hope to see you there." - George Pace
