Me and Mitch are spending the weekend at the Tampa Tattoofest Convention. I did seminars and had the opportunity to meet many new friends in the process. I would like to thank Bruce Ripley (who runs the convention) for being a gracious host and also H2ocean for covering airfare.[inspic=253,,,0]I ran into one of my old friends at the convention. Mark Lichtenberg had commissioned transdermal horns in November 1999 and has worn the the same size spike for eight years. I brought him much larger spikes and I think he was pretty happy! [inspic=252,,,0] Mark is a great example of the success of transdermals when placement, material and aftercare are implemented correctly. Mark is an amazing body piercer and one of the kindest souls I have met. He has also been a collector of other various mods in which are pretty obvious in the picture to the right.[inspic=250,,,0] I also had the opportunity to meet Mark’s lovely fiance Colleen who has beautiful tattoo work, Mark’s a lucky guy![inspic=251,,,0]  CooKie is 2000 miles away on the West Coast and is dearly missed.[inspic=254,,,0]
