AND THE WINNER IS…

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Aside from the bright lights, cameras, and good times we had in Vegas, we had one true purpose there…to simply take home awards from the first EVER Biggest Tattoo Show in Earth. With competition in mind, we set forth some of our best pieces we had to offer…

Manny Navarette, Mark Osuna, and Shawn Bishop, major players in the tattoo collecting game and some Lowrider’s finest bodies of work, worked the crowds and judges in amazement…

Strategic poses all played a part in the competition. The judges showed no favoritism and were strict all through the end. The other players were just as tough in all the categories we tried to place.

The end result was Jose Lopez of Lowrider Tattoo, Best Black and Grey 1st (Mark) and 3rd place (Shawn), and 3rd place Best Overall for Manny…Mario Barth’s team and Starlight Tattoo was there to congratulate us with open arms, and we were there in return to thank them so much for there hospitality…

After the awards were given, Jose took stage and gave a short speech once again thanking Mario and inspiring the crowd to do what they love in life, and strive. He also gave special thanks and congrats to Jun Cha at home in Cali bringing “The Hundreds” to LA…

The amount of footage and moments we captured on this trip were too many to list…but we still got more for ya…
