From across our spinning blue marble, tattoo and hot-rod enthusiasts dressed in their rockabilly best gathered for three days of bands, burlesque, beer and some unparalleled people-watching at the Ink-n-Iron Festival aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach this past weekend.
Mixing sex and old-school propriety, the style on hand -- like the tattoos on many of its wearers -- seems to require a unique commitment among its followers. There’s no rolling out of bed and out into public for this crew. And once you’ve acquired something like two sleeves-full of ink, there’s no going back.
