And to keep the visitors busy, the Convention has number of interesting activities besides tattoo booths. On April 2, people were seen playing guitars at the guitar stall while some were busy buying tattoo gizmos, besides getting inked.

But why guitar stall at the tattoo convention? “People who visit the tattoo convention are also ones interested in music. This is why we are here with our electric guitars made in Nepal,” shared Sagun Bhattarai, Director of Sagun Guitars. Stalls of handicrafts and food court are other attractions of the event.
