At the second annual Rail City Tattoo Festival on October 12 and 13, 48 tattoo artists from across the state and country gathered to meet more than 1,000 attendees at St. Albans City Hall. The convention was organized by Jhon and Jodi Rodriguez of 100 Candles Tattoo, a studio just down the street. A well-known tattoo artist originally from Colombia, Jhon brought some friends from his home country who currently live in New York to the event. Throughout the weekend, the hum of multiple tattoo machines blended with loud music as dozens of people received tattoos on various parts of their bodies.
Seven Days senior multimedia producer Eva Sollberger visited the fest and met some artists and visitors. She even got a temporary tattoo from two young people at the family-friendly event.
