Skilled tattoo artists from across the country brought their artwork to Phoenix for the Body Art Expo at the Arizona State Fairgrounds this weekend. Aside from the usual inking and piercing, there were various performances from tattoo artists and tattoo-ees alike. Show Devils put physical limits to the test with fire-eating and chainsaw-kissing, while various artists participated in collaborative live drawing.
