"Does a lot for our culture. Brings tattoo art pretty much into the mainstream world," said Tony Wayne.
"We bring people from all over the country. It's an amazing place," said Baba. "It just took the rest of the world to catch to what we already knew. Tattoos' have been popular for centuries. Czars, queens, kings."
Felecia Buchanan came to the expo to get a tattoo matching her daughter's.
"She graduated. She is 18 and we decided to get a tattoo that kind of signifies her leaving the nest," said Buchanan.
Organizers said they'll be back in Houston next year.
"It wouldn't be the same if we didn't come to Houston. Lotta fun here. Good food. Good people," said Baba.
