Booze and Tattoos- A Carnival at the TLA

by Dan Williams

Well, that was interesting!

We attend many events down on South Street at the TLA.  This was different.

This time it wasn’t a normal concert, although there was live music on the stage. There were also old school burlesque dancers, a dancer with a hula hoop, face/body painting, artisans displaying their wares, food merchants, lots of mixed drinks to sample and about six or seven big name local tattoo artists hard at work. And the place was jammed, as were the tattoo chairs.

Lots of wincing and brave faces as the ink went in. It was a very fun carnival atmosphere filled with a huge array of interesting looking people.

Something for everyone in Philly!
