The London Tattoo Convention 2012 -- the best and the weirdest

This week Asylum dragged its pale uninked skin down to the The International London Tattoo Convention to see some of the world's finest tattoo artists plying their trade.
Among the stalls, the whirling of needles and the sullen faces of people pretending it didn't hurt, were the most incredible array of tattoos our little eyes have ever seen.
We saw a man with a panther on the back of his head! It was sweet.
What's more, in between the blaring Pantera and graffiti murals were some very attractive, heavily tattooed young ladies. What is it about tattoos that make girls so hot? Despite hours of frontline research, we still couldn't work it out.
