Wow! What an amazing and intense 3 days this has been! It's incredible to see so many people that are passionate about tattooing coming together in one place to grow. My mind has been packed full, I'm exhausted, and I'm incredibly inspired.

I’m so glad I took the chance to go to The Explorer Tattoo Conference. I’ve been looking for an opportunity like this to learn, refocus and evaluate the direction in which my work and life are heading. This whole conference was the real deal and exactly what I needed.

Honestly I had one of the best times this week in my career as a tattooer. The fact that there are other artists that are willing to take their time to teach and educate others is beyond a humbling experience. It has opened a whole new world of motivation and inspiration for me.
