20 epic shots from the SA tattoo convention you gotta see

Cape Town – Channel24 teamed up with South African photographer Jacobus Snyman to bring you a special photo essay from the South African International Tattoo Convention (SAITC).

The SAITC took place in Cape Town over the weekend and saw thousands of tattoo enthusiasts flock to the CTICC to get their ink and see some of the best artists in the business in action.

With beams of natural light flooding in through the giant glass windows and tattoo machines buzzing away, the mood was set for a perfect weekend event.

With tattoo artists from 11 countries attending, it was the ideal opportunity to get new ink or simply just meet others with similar passions from around the world.

Jacobus captured 20 epic shots from the convention in this exclusive Channel24 photo essay.
