Southern Ink Exposure tattoo convention.

The third annual international tattoo convention that runs from today until Sunday will also ring in a change for founder organizers Manuela and Allan Gray as it moves to the V&A Waterfront Pavilion Conference Centre for the very first time.

Over the three days of the tattoo convention itself, the Pavilion will play host to some of the biggest names in skin ink from all over the world. "Regulars" Joe Johns and Nick Chaboya from the US, Canadian Glen Paradis, Jay Jay from Sweden, Gordon Claus from Germany and Tom Tattoo from Italy will be rubbing shoulders with local skin kings and queens such as Garth Stauton, Reverend Simon White, Tyler Murphy and Gray herself.

The Southern Ink Exposure tattoo convention takes place at the CTICC this weekend.
