Gathering of the Tribes

14 January was quite a memorable date for those who had taken their time to drop by the Borneo Convention Centre. In fact it runs from 14-16 January. It is about tattoo. Tattoo artists from many parts of the world: Europe, Asia-Pacific, Indonesia and Malaysia congregate at the Borneo Convention Centre exhibiting their skills in tattoo making with all kind of motifs. I spent about three hours mingling with them and reduced into photographs part of what I saw and observed.
