Getting Inked for Mother Earth
If you missed the chance to get a free tattoo of your favorite endangered species and still want to get inked for a good cause, take note: Melbourne's largest tattoo convention will donate 100% of its profits toward converting agricultural land in Australia back to native rainforest. The Rites of Passage Festival advocates living in harmony with nature by showcasing everything from eco-friendly tattoo supplies to locally grown organic produce.
The event brings together hundreds of the world's most talented tattoo artists for three days of art, music, and environmental education.
