Ireland’s First Trad Tattoo & World Culture Festival, Cobh, Cork 2010
A truly unique gathering of the inked is taking shape in the sunny climes of Cork, Ireland. This weekend, July 10th – 11th is billed as the ‘Traditional Tattoo and World Culture Festival’ and boasts some new angles in tattoo conventionary. Focused on bringing you on an anthropological excursion into the origins and ethos behind tattooings earliest imaginings,
the festival also boasts an eclectic array of education and entertainment and allows attendees to camp, adding to that festival feel.
Cultural hero amongst many a tattooer, Manwoman, who is an author, intellectual and esteemed father of the ‘Reclaim the Swastika’ movement will be in attendance to dispense some wisdom and education on the magical symbol of peace lovers everywhere. Reclaiming this ancient and powerful symbol has long been a goal of the many sections of the spiritual and tattoo communities and in the last few years, and with thanks to the dedication of Manwoman, real progress is being made.
Tattoo wise the festival will feature the likes of geometric ink wizard Xed le Head and the flint, thorn and Innuit thread-needle techniques of Colin Dale amongst others. The gathering also sports Polynesian, Buddhist, Indonesian Mentawi, Borneo Kalimantan and Dayak tattooing, so if you like your ink, poked, tapped, sewn, meaningful, ethical and traditional, few weekends could better this.
