Get Tattooed Live at Celebration V
The Star Wars tattoo program at Celebration V is back, and this time with a new twist. Starting next week, you’ll be able to make an appointment with one of a selection of renowned tattoo artists who will be tattooing live at the event in Orlando. All four days of the show fans can also drop in to see if there is time available to get that awesome Star Wars tattoo they have always wanted. What better place to get a permanent memento of Star Wars fandom than at the biggest Star Wars Party this side of the Galaxy? Marc Draven is heading up the Celebration live tattoo area. Check back next week for appointment information. Shane Turgeon, author of The Force in the Flesh, is returning to Celebration to coordinate another fantastic Star Wars tattoo show, schedule for Sunday morning, August 15. Sign up for the event at the Celebration V Tattoo Pavilion on the show floor. While you are there, check out the many skateboard decks designed and painted by exceptional artists. The decks will be auctioned off for charity at the Celebration Make-A-Wish Auction Sunday afternoon. Turgeon is coordinating “The Empire Skates Back” project, and has contacted some incredible talent to create these decks. Rare, one-of-a-kind works of art, they are not to be missed!
