A little background...
The tattoo scene south of the equator is like surfing...
Like little grommets in the water on a flat day, we waited and waited for something big to happen. A few little ripples came and went, but nothing that would take us very far. Then finally, way out there in the distance… we could see it. That big wave that we've been waiting for… like a gift from the heavens. SURF n' Ink emerged into the tattoo scene like an epic wave; unforgettable, passed too quickly, and was one hell of a ride.
Each year in Australia's premier vacation spot when the heat is cranked, the worlds best artists among crowds of excited fans, flock to the Gold Coast to enjoy this world class event.
