2006 NYC Tattoo Convention

For the latest CH Video we partnered with our sister site Needled and visited the seventh annual NYC Tattoo Convention at the Roseland Ballroom in Midtown Manhattan. We captured the performance of Lucky Diamond Rich (the most tattooed person in the world) and met with Spider Webb, perhaps the most rebellious tattooist in history (he was at the forefront of the movement to legalize tattooing in New York City during its city wide ban from 1961 to 1998). Lucky Diamond Rich has been tattooed in 45 cities by 136 international tattoo artists; we caught up with him after the show and listened to his thoughts on tattoos. This CH Video reveals a brief glimpse into the world of ink. Headphones are suggested but not mandatory.

    i can’t get tatoo’s. I tried once and failed. I can’t stand that ZZZZZZ sound that thing makes when it the artist does the tattooing. It really gets me aggravated, that sound and it makes me unstable so i couldn’t stand the sound and left. I have an inner demon inside me itching to come out and i don’t want to go crazy on some tattoo artist who was only doing his job so i had to leave. So sadly, i think i’ll never get a tattoo.
