I've got ear- and nose-piercings and I'm still thinking of getting more just to freak the hell out of everyone I meet here in China, but somehow I still haven't found the balls to get my first tattoo yet (not unless there is a general anesthetist on hand in the house to knock me out first, that is). The Tattoo Show Convention China 2007 caught our attention because although Chinese characters and designs have long been the favourite of tattoo enthusiasts around the world, you don't really think of China itself as a land of tattoo aficionados, do you?
