Custom Motor Bikes and Best Tattoos Lure Gold Coast Visitors

Are you ready to get inked?  Even if you're just curious, this appears to be the event of the decade for tattoo lovers. It will showcase 160 artists from around the world.

Australia's first Surf n' Ink Tattoo Convention will be held at the Gold Coast Convention Centre from 15-17 January.  Start your new year of getaways to this event for airbrush body painting, body piercing, best tattoo competitions, a fashion parade, circus acts, DJs and custom motorbike show.

I'll probably chicken out on a belly button design (ouch!), but I'm keen to see the Pinup Parade and custom airbrushed motorbikes!  Forget the ankle tat with rainbow warrior design,where's my vintage leather jacket and purple boots?   

-Motorcycle Mama will be there on her Vespa.
