Tattoo festivals cultivate a rockabilly sensibility and MusInk 2012 delivered: Guys sporting pompadours glistening with pomade, ironed bandanas hanging from their back pocket next to the wallet chains; curvy pin up models with ruby red lips and Betty Page hairdos, hair scarves wrapped back to front.  Over three hundred tattoo artists set up shop, a global presence with artists from as far away as Japan and Australia.  Activities abounded.  Skater boys defied gravity, however briefly; kegs of beer disappeared down gullets; hundreds of tattoos found new homes on every imaginable body part; and behind it all hammered the backbeat of thunderous rock and roll.
