The Ladies Art Show is an exclusive all ladies group show featuring the work of female tattooers. The work in the exhibition displays different styles and techniques, but is united by one love: tattooing.
The show was created to pay respect to the ladies who started tattooing first and paved the way for all others to follow, in a tough, historically male-dominated, industry.
The show is curated by Elvia Iannaccone Gezlev and Magie Serpica, and this is its 3rd edition.
