Publisher’s Note / Anniversary wish -

Holy crap we just turned 11 years old! That’s right we are starting our 12th year as of

this issue! To celebrate we are featuring some Atlanta hotness since that’s where we started

and still call home.We have been so busy over the years putting this magazine together we

have hardly had time for anything else. One of the things that I personally dropped the ball

on (11 years in) is the Facebook social media tsunami. The magazine has always been my

social network.That is what magazines used to be for everyone.Well the big issue that needs

immediate attention for the present and the future is our facebook page. For an anniversary

gift to us, I am asking all of our loyal readers to LIKE US ON FACEBOOK! Go to www.facebook.com/prick-

mag and like us now! Sadly “success” these days is based on your “likes” now more so than the last decades

worth of magazines produced so hook us up in return for all these years of PRICK mag goodness. I look for-

ward to many more years of this and I hope you do too. Look for my social media dinosaur-ass on Facebook

soon as I will personally be joining the Facebook party. Enjoy this momentous edition – Chuck B

editor’s Note -

Yes, you read it here folks, Chuck B. has finally embraced social media and will be

bringing more of his own brand of social network to our Facebook and Twitter pages

so if you’re not on board yet, I’d advise you to join the ride before it picks up anymore

speed! We have consistently tried to bring you our picks of tunes, tales and tattoos

and will continue to do so with addition of our own YouTube channel so that you, our

viewers, can see more of what a day in the life of PRICK is really like. Subscribe today:

Iceland

Tattoo Convention

by Dave Greninger

I t’s the first weekend in June and that can only mean

one thing in Iceland. No, it’s not another volcanic

eruption, it’s time for the Icelandic Tattoo Convention

in downtown Reykjavik. This year marked the 6th anniver-

sary of the event, which brought together eclectic and talent-

ed tattoo artists from around the world.

The Nordic fresh air and the great people of Reykjavik

complimented a certain vibe of excitement and anticipation.

The event was held Friday, June 3rd to Sunday June 5th

at Sodoma, a popular venue for drinking, dancing and

live music. The days were filled with the buzz of tattoo

machines, artists and attendees while at night, the

venue transformed to host fantastic rock and roll per-

formances by some of Iceland’s best talent.

Because of the smaller size of the Icelandic con-

vention, the artists are hand picked by the organizers

to accommodate the best of their craft. This year’s

artists included Americans, Jason June of Three Kings Tattoo (Brooklyn, New York),

Javier Betancourt of Ocho Placas Tattoo (Miami, Fla.),Tomas Garcia of Tattoo

Paradise (Washington D.C.), Steve Boltz of Smith Street Tattoo Parlor (Brooklyn,

New York), Zach Nelligan of Triple Crown Tattoo (Austin,Tex), Jesse Allen Gordon

of Amillion Tattoo (Austin Tx), Chip Baskin of Queen of Hearts Tattoo (Mobile,Al)

and Phil Young of Hope Gallery (New Haven, Conn.). Of course the locals repre-

sented Iceland’s ever growing tattoo scene with Atli of MotorSmidjan, Sindri and

some particularly nice work from Fjolnir of The Icelandic Tattoo Corp, (Islenzka

Hudflurstofan).

Right from the beginning the top notch hospitality of the organizer’s and staff

was apparent. They say this convention is an artists’ convention as it combines

both a relaxing and catered vacation with the opportunity to work and produce

some really great tattoos. I had the chance to speak with talented artist Phil Young.

He explained the convention allows him “to be able to do art outside of tattooing

and painting. Playing music is very important to me. I am very grateful to Ossur

and Linda for this convention. It’s quite a treat to come here and be hosted like

this.” Some might say Phil’s a lucky guy, but he likes “to think that years of really

hard work, not luck have afforded me the ability to live the great life I have.”

Friday night’s concert was lead by the post hardcore band Endless Dark, 6
