Contact Information: 424-214-0247
Website: www.californiaheattattooshow.com
Notes: The only Tattoo Convention Inspired, Created and guided by the true patriarchs of the industry. Our Event combines all aspects of tattooing but unlike other shows... We are living history. With the goal of preserving the true art and history of tattooing. Without certain members of the tattoo culture we wouldn't be here... That is what this convention is here to preserve and showcase. Who are the men behind the scenes? Lyle Tuttle, Henry Goldfield, and Dean Dennis... Without these men this event never would have been possible... And tattooing as it is today might even be extinct without them... With their knowledge, memories and influences of the history and the industry the word "Tattoo" would not have the meaning it does.
