Get Inked in Kelowna
Roughly 20% of Canadians have tattoos. Whether its due to popular reality tv shows, a reduction in the negative stigma or some other more subtle trend that percentage seems to be creeping higher. They have gone from taboo to trendy.
If your interested in some tattoo stats check out this graphic.
This weekend in Kelowna over 50 tattoo artists will descend on Parkinson Rec as part of the second annual Okanagan Tattoo Show. They are coming from as far as Germany and will also feature a number of our local tattoo shops.
I caught up with Diana Paraschiv (and her daughter) from Don't Look Down Tattoo who along with her co-conspirator Danielle are the organisers of the Okanagan Tattoo Show.
If your interested in attending the event happens this weekend and doors open Friday at 4pm. Weekend passes are $45 but day passes are $15-20. Danielle mentioned that a lot of the artists are taking bookings in advance so if you want to get a tattoo this weekend or if you want to take in a few of the shows tickets and full details can be found at http://www.okanagantattooshow.com/about.html
Live Music
The Music in the Park headliner this Friday is indie bluegrass legends, "My Kind of Karma", with rising country star Tanya Ryan opening the show. Here is a video for her tune "Cry for the Devil". Tanya has won a ton of awards and her music is fantastic so if you want to discover a new country act this weekend this is the show for you:
