Chris Wilcock shares, “We’re thrilled to be back after a break due to the venue’s closure during the pandemic and its subsequent remodel. Both our vendors and attendees have been eagerly asking when we would return, and we’re excited to announce that we’re coming back stronger than ever. This year, we’re maximizing the use of the entire venue to deliver an exceptional event at an affordable price.”

PiercingMetal Thoughts: This sounds pretty damned cool and as our readers or most of them actually already know, we just love a convention and even a tattoo show despite our not having a single dot of ink on our person. I used to attend the New York Empire State happening but fell off from that and just this past weekend was exploring the massive and quite famed New York Comic Con. Unfortunately I will be out of town visiting family for the pre-Thanksgiving holidays when this event takes place so you out there in the readership are going to have to be on point and posting to your Instagram accounts so I can see what I am missing. You can chime in with your thoughts down below and if you’ve any interest in seeing my numerous posts about the New York Comic Con, you can click HERE. Sorry for the shameless plug in an alert about a different convention but it is my website after all and we run our own game as much as possible. See you next time.
