America’s Favorite Tattoo Festival is
once again upon us! The Hell City Tattoo Fest is happening twice in 2009! Hell
City “Let It Bleed” will take place May 29th -31st at the Hyatt Regency
downtown Killumbus, Ohio. Then onto Hell City “Tattoo Vacation”, Sept 4th -6th
at the Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix, Arizona over Labor Day Weekend. Without a doubt, this year’s festivals
are tattoo history in the making!
If you have ever been
to Hell City before, you have seen the massive crowds. The line that gathers
before the gates even open looks more like the line to get into a sold out rock
concert. Once inside, all that is Hell City will amaze your eyes, ears and
skin. With everything from live entertainment on the main stage, to music, to
free seminars, The Art Fusion Experiment, tattoo competitions every day, and
Suicide Girls giving out the one of a kind trophies, you will want to stay the
entire weekend!
There are so many new events and
happenings at this year’s Hell City Tattoo Fests, including the “Innerstate Art
Camp”, brought to you by Hyperspace Studios. This interactive live painting
exhibition will take place the entire weekend, featuring some of today’s top
artists, including Kim Saigh and Hannah Aitchison of LA Ink, Guy Aitchison,
Michele Wortman, Shawn Barber, Marcus Pacheco, Nick Baxter, and many more!
There will also be exclusive book signings by some of the top
published tattoo artists in the industry, including Hannah Aitchison of LA Ink.
Hannah’s brother, Guy Aitchison, will also be signing his newest version of his
book “Reinventing The Tattoo”. There will be all new seminars on everything
from tattoo techniques to oil painting, given by such professionals as Joe
Capobianco, Shawn Barber, Russ Abbott, Big Gus and more!
The Hell City main stage just got hotter Saturday night with a twisted,
flaming show of circus, dance and fire arts! This years Saturday night

artistic choreography. This LIVE performance will feature artists from

The Hell City Tattoo Festival proudly presents... The comedy
of Satan's Comic, Rob White and your host Tim Thomson. Together these New York
based comics have been Rocking Clubs, Theatres and Colleges from New York City
to Dublin. Guaranteed to provide a roller coaster ride of hilarity from start
to finish. Come, laugh your horns off and have one hell of a good time with
Satan’s Comics!!
Another new addition to this year’s
fest is live Tattoo Forums that are open to the public! Listen to today's top
tattoo artists & industry leaders discuss topics ranging from the art of
tattooing to the current state of the industry. Each carefully chosen panel of
professionals will express their opinions and stories on various topics, as
well as answering any questions Hellions may ask! These discussion panels are
tattoo history in the making, don't miss your chance to listen and
participate!
As always, we will have tattoo competitions
with custom awards designed by the great Don Pendleton! Every day at the Main Stage, tattoo
competitions take place with the beautiful Suicide Girls handing out the awards
to the winners who get to take their place on the custom awards podium. With
over twenty different categories, Hell City uses it’s state of the art computer
judging system, designed by Hell City scientists, to thoroughly critique
tattoos, making the judging process unique from any other tattoo
convention!
Hellions will be roasting the Mayor Of
Tattooville, Chris Longo, Sunday evening!!! Once the gates of Hell City close,
dinner starts in the Union Ballroom at the Hyatt Regency. Chris Longo steps
into the hot seat at 9pm taking abuse from Guy Aitchison, Lyle Tuttle,
