Issue #1 This is the premiere issue and we hope this becomes a venue for some of you out there in eLand. eLand's a big place and there are tattoo events scattered all throughout...so, the next time you're at a show take a few for us. Pics that is. We'll post them when we post a new issue of ThorneZine.

	Since I'm webmaster I decided to make the first submission to Thorne's eZine. ThorneZine (Thorne doesn't know this yet. I even stole her pics). I submit that we had a great time at The Body Art Expo in Pomona, CA at the Fairplex in Jan 07.   Here I am hard at work making sure that I didn't miss any of the...er...venders at the show. It's a rough job..yada yada. There were lot's of sights.   There were many venders and a boatload of tattoo and body modification artists present. I had never attended a tattoo show before...needless to say I had fun.
The pic on the above left is the tattoo that I thought was the most amazingly detailed tattoo at the show and it was a winner with the judges as well. The jpeg doesn't begin to do it justice. It looked like someone ran his chest thru their photo printer. The center pic is the nicest piercing design that I saw. The righthand pic is one of the nicest large tattoos that I saw in Pomona. Picking a photo for the best large tattoo at the show was an impossible task. There were quite a few, but I really liked this one.
Thorne had family and friends in tow most of the time and we got to meet some cool folks. Her cohorts in crime, so to speak. Of course, we were all sporting her ink around and we even entered a contest or three while we were there. On the right, K is sporting the sunflower and dragonfly that is part of her cottage garden sleeve that is in the works. More pics of her sleeve will be posted in the On Going Gallery of the website soon. I'm working on that now. Actually I'm working on the EZine now, but you get it...Right? The pics below are of yours truly again. I was having a blast on stage showing off my legwork. HeHe! What fun! Probably going to do this contest thing a few more times when my leg is finished. I think Thorne had a blast watching the spectators take pictures of her ink.
OK. That was my submission - my first tattoo show (with the help of Thorne's pics of course). We'd like you to send us your submissions about tattoo shows in your area. As time permits and content allows we'll post more issues of ThorneZine. If you see us at a show speak up. We'd like to meet you.
