My best man and I hit out for Long Beach to see a band called The Yard Dogs play at a tattoo festival.
The show took place on the Queen Mary, an old cruise ship tied to a peir. Kids were fishing in the clear waters, their parents grilling the fresh catch. Even the dead ones.
Sean and I arrived mid-afternoon. There were lines and a great mix of people. Tons of old hot rods were in the parking lot.
These weren’t your old fashion hot rods, with candy colored flame jobs and glossy finish. These babies looked like they’d been driven straight outta the junk yard.
These guys aren’t twins.
These two girls are twins.
Sean and I walked around looking at cars and people. Then we went on the ship.
This guy was getting some work done.
We found a photo shoot going on inside the bowels of the ship.
This woman was getting ready to be body painted.
At 8 pm it was time to watch The Yard Dogs.
This man swallowed swords and played with fire.
There was belly dancing and fan dancing as well.
This woman isn’t wearing anything at all.
Those are tattoos.
