In collaboration with the Bay Area Tattoo Convention of some of the Bay Area’s most iconic tattoo shops, this exhibition focuses on seven major icons in American Traditional Tattooing, their origin stories, early forms and how they’ve evolved in contemporary tattooing.

Presented in partnership with Uprise Art. This edition of Uprise West will feature a large-scale hanging installation exploring rhythm, repetition and sound by Christina Watka, as well as, the delicate paper work of Katrine Hildebrandt-Hussey which play with light and shadow.
