Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
The inaugural Tattoo Masquerade brought tattoo artists from across the nation to Colorado for a body-art convention that went a step beyond by also presenting fine artists, holistic-health practitioners, burlesque dancers and sideshow performers at the Colorado Convention Center from July 22 through 24. Here's a look at the action from the floor, courtesy of photographer Aaron Thackeray.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
