Body ink fans, piercing enthusiasts and extreme body modification practitioners descend on Caracas for the 2015 tattoo festival.
More than 400 tattoo artists from around the world are participating in the event, which started on Thursday and ended yesterday.
Hawaiian Kala Kaiwi, the man with the most stretched ear lobes in the world according to The Guinness Book of World Records, was among some of the famous attendees at the convention. His ear lobes measure 109 millimetres (4.3 inches) in diameter. “Took me about sixteen years to stretch to this size, so it’s not something you can do overnight,” Kaiwi said
Well-known Venezuelan tattoo artist Yomico Moreno said that people are starting to see tattoos as an art form as it has been increasingly accepted in Venezuela.
