Original Source - MCV Gay News Network

Rites of Passage is a combined tattoo, music and arts event coming to the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens


One of the tattoo artists at Rites of Passage is Mick Squires (that's his work pictured), and we'll be interviewing Mick just before the event to find out how he got into tattoos, what he's into in terms of art and his fascination with the human skull.

The inaugural rites of passage tattoo and arts festival will feature the some of the best tattooists in the world, including Jeff Gogue on his first trip to Australia. Jeff will be joined by around 250 of the world's best international and national artists such as Chad Koeplinger, Jo Harrison, Nick Baxter, Steeve Byrne, Mick Squires, Trevor Mcstay, David Corden, Dong Dong and George Mavridis.

The festival features the world's most tattooed man, multiple workshops on sustainable living, a huge line-up of musicians, visual and performance artists, dance, indigenous performers and much more... The most amazing part being, 100% of all the profits will go towards buying agricultural land for rainforest replantation.
