While interning at Things&Ink I spied some cool tattoos and stopped the owners for a brief chat.With everyone rushing to wherever they were going, it was difficult to ask everyone lots of questions about their tattoos!

Things&Ink reader Mia MaCauley, 20, art student in London on a college trip.
She often gets tattooed at conventions, her chest piece is by Billie at Afflecks in Manchester.

Her favourite tattoo is this little creep by Jemma Jones at Raincity, Manchester

Louise Fury, 36, body piercer at Original Skin, London. Originally from America but she lives in London.

She had just had a six hour sitting on her back tattoo and I didn’t want to bother her too much, we all know how tiring getting tattooed can be!

A GROUP EXHIBITION TO CELEBRATE ONE YEAR OF ATOMICA GALLERY

17 APRIL – 18 MAY 2014

OPENING NIGHT: THURSDAY 17 APRIL 2014, 6-9pm. Beers supplied by Red Stripe.

We’re so happy to have been a part of Atomica’s growth from the very beginning, from their pop up shop down Brick Lane to their brand new gallery space in Covent Garden.

Celebrating their one year anniversary Atomica Gallery presents a group exhibition of original artwork from exciting new contemporary artists. ‘Vision Quest’ opens on 17^th April in Seven dials, Covent Garden.

The art exhibited in Atomica doesn’t need to be labelled to be appreciated . It’s the art that comes out of our culture: it’s the books you can’t put down, it’s the music that moves you, it’s the stuff you get up to with your friends, and it’s the flickering glow of half-remembered movies across your eyes. It’s the ink on your skin. It’s the weirdness that plays out in your dreams. It’s the art that you’d make if you had a paintbrush in your hand – and mad skills, of course.

The new exhibition is a visual delight of kaleidoscopic proportions, mind bending weirdness and femme fatales.

Full list of participating artists:

APAK (US) / CASTRO SMITH (UK) / CHRISTOPHER CONN ASKEW (US) / DEREK YANIGER (US) / ELEONOR BOSTRÖM (SE) / FEMKE HIEMSTRA (NL) / JACK PEARCE (UK) / LUKE THOMAS (US) / NIAGARA DETROIT (US) / RAMON MAIDEN (ES) / RICARDO CAVO LO (ES) / RICHIE FAHEY (US) / RYAN HESHKA (CA) / SOPHIE ALDA (UK) / TOM BAGSHAW (UK)
