Piper also made a point to emphasize, “I always want to showcase the best artists in the D.C. “And as our business and the art continues to evolve, I continue to seek out the best new artists and of course the best old-time artists for the show.” “Being a tattooer for 34 years now, I still keep up with the best artists in the business,” Piper says.

When selecting which artists to invite like Sun and Darling, organizer and owner of Northern Virginia’s Exposed Tattoo Greg Piper curated a group based on established and up-and-coming talent. Located at the Sheraton Pentagon Hotel in Arlington, the Expo will host more than 200 artists and is expected to have 15,000 people attend. I’m looking forward to being able to check out all the other artists now that I have a different perspective and understanding on tattooing.” This will be my first time tattooing, which I’m actually a bit nervous about. “I attended the DC Tattoo Expo a couple times as an apprentice in 20,” Darling says. Similarly, local tattoo artist Chelsea Darling from Mister Finster’s Tattoo Studio - who specializes in high contrast black and grey line work - is excited to use the Expo to learn and reflect on her journey as an artist since the last one. Starting her tattoo apprenticeship in March 2019 before Covid-19 hit, Sun’s detailed realist and surrealist work earned her a spot at the Expo - and being completely booked every day of the event. It will be interesting for me to see how I’ve grown as an artist.” “I’ve been tattooing for around three years and when I went to DC Expo last time, I was just getting started. “This will actually be my second time going,” Maryland-based tattoo artist Nina Sun from Damascus Tattoo Company says.
