@gt_inks_: My experience at NY Empire State Tattoo Expo. This past weekend I got to experience my first convention and I was blessed to be able to attend a convention this major for my first one. All thanks to @John Eric Basilio for giving me the opportunity to tattoo in his booth and experience this. The pressure of this event was an intense but inspiring pressure that has changed the game for me. My fist time competing was a surreal moment. Although we didn’t place I’m beyond stoked to have been able to participate in this. It’s given me a clearer path for my goals ahead and set me on fire for the craft more than ever. Forever greatful for this experience and all Glory to God for aligning my life with character building experiences like this #tattoo #nyempirestatetattooexpo #newyorkcity #realismtattoo #inspiration
