Full Power tattoo.
Nepal is slowly but surely getting a good name in the tattoo world, and the conventions are a great way to show what the nepalese artists can do. Set in the Himalayas, nepal has a long history of tribal tattoo going from mountains face tattoos to the tarus all body coverings. This traditional style mixed with the tankha art gives nepal a unique place in the tattoo world.

The convention gathers artists from Nepal showing their skills, asian style, as well as international artists. If you can see many buddhas and shivas inked on skin, there are also the more modern designs such as the scratched style of Leon Lam from Alchemink. There are the old classics like Kalitattoo from London, who come for every convention with their body manipulations and to just enjoy nepal. This year, the japanese artist Kenji Alucky from Black Ink Power will stop by with his amazing neo tribal style.

Funky Buddha does not have a booth, but a visit is a must to say hello to friends and meet new artists. Baba Bikas is currently traveling in France, so Sunil will be walking around representing Funky Buddha.
As usual, Funky Buddha is taking it shanti shanti with updating the blog, so for now, here are some pictures from last year convention. For all travelling tattoo artists, come on to nepal for this great event and to enjoy the mountain cool air.
See you soon in kathmandu !
