We travelled to Switzerland for ready to bring Tat2zie to Europe with our full inventory and complete convention setup.
Our pallet never arrived.
Not exactly the European debut we had pictured.
But what could have ruined the trip turned into something we’ll never forget.
We met incredible people, made connections we never expected, and Donavan had the chance to spend time with some of the legends and icons of tattooing he’s looked up to throughout his career.
After almost 30 years in this industry, getting to actually sit, talk, laugh and connect with artists like , , , , , and was pretty damn special.
A huge thank you to and for creating an event that brought so much history, talent and tattoo culture together in one place. 🖤
And a very special thank you to and Sandy. Getting to travel together, experience Lugano together, and share all the laughs, conversations and adventures along the way made this trip that much better. We’re grateful we got to experience it with you guys.
We went to Lugano thinking this trip was about introducing Tat2zie to Europe.
Turns out, it became about something much bigger.
The pallet didn’t make it to Lugano.
But Tat2zie did.
And this is only the beginning. 🖤
See you all
