Ben Gun & United Magnetic’s past visit to Steel City Tattoo Convention

Shane O’Neill Productions Tattoo Convention in Pittsburg

The 2nd Annual Steel City Tattoo Convention was held on the weekend of September 19 – 21, at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburg. Besides the opportunity to get tattooed right there with your favorite tattooist, it also featured a variety of seminars for the tattoo artists, merchandise for sale, and of course a tattoo contest, which included many categories such as Best Back piece, Best Portrait Black & Grey, Best Sleeve, Best Asian…just to name a few.

 

Our dear owner Ben Gun was there as an attending artist, tattooing and also selling the amazing custom hand-made tattooing machines from United Magnetic.
