AJABU LA LEO: CHEKI HAWA JAMAA JINSI WALIVYOPIGWA NA TATOO UNAWEZA SEMA WAMEVAA MAVAZI KUMBEE...



Hardly an inch of this man's back and shoulders hasn't been infused with vivid colour in this Eastern inspired design 

People at the heavily-photographed convention were more than happy to flash their inked flesh - and prove just how tough they were to endure hours of painful needlework to get the designs, including one woman who lay in just a black thong to go under the needle
This man opted for a wacky moustache to match his lively facial tattoos
Another has the back of whole head inked to look like a grimacing skull
A brightly coloured cartoon with roses and butterflies emerging from it hair covers the back of this woman 
Most of this gentleman's entire body bears sprawling patterns
Under a long-sleeved shirt (and gloves) you'd have no idea this man bore such complex and haunting artwork featuring snarling vampire beauties, a skull and mysterious hooded faces on his body chest, abdomen and even on the back of his hands
A blonde grins as she showcases her colourful arm tattoos
Hues of pink and lime green snake around this woman's arms
An artist is photographed drawing the outlines of the tattoo and carefully copies the design onto this woman's thigh 
Large, sweeping tattoos which reached up the neck and over the face and head were seen on plenty of men

The pain in this undoubtedly tender area is apparent on this man's face as he has a rose inked on to the side of his neck
An explosion of colour trickles down the back of this woman, who appears to be surprisingly serene during the process

A woman stretches out on her stomach and displays an astonishingly detailed equine design etched artfully on her back and shoulders
Nothing about this scenario - in which artists tattoo a man's head using traditional Samoan method - looks anything short of agonising 
A couple pose with their child in a sling on her mother, one of the many parents who took their children along for the event
This woman tenderly cradles her child as she breastfeeds during the convention, and showcases a bold chest tattoo featuring Latin script
