Kat Von D, Joanna Angel Team Up for Musink

LOS ANGELES — Presented by celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D, the inaugural Musink Tattoo and Music Festival will take place from Feb. 22-24, at the Orange County Fair and Exposition Grounds in Costa Mesa, Calif.

More than 200 tattooists from all over the world will participate, along with several bands and dozens of vendors.

Adult director/performer and founder of BurningAngel.com Joanna Angel also will host a booth at the event, featuring models from the Burning Angel website. Adult performer Roxy DeVille is also scheduled to make an appearance and greet fans.

In addition, Brandon from Traditional Ink will be tattooing at the Burning Angel booth throughout the show.

"If you come by, you'll get to see me or one of my girl's get tattooed somewhere really inappropriate,” Angel said. “I'll be signing autographs, selling tee shirts and signed DVDs. It's going to be lots of fun. We encourage all our fans to come and hang out with us."

Angel recently made an appearance on The Learning Channel reality show “L.A. Ink,” which centers on Von D and her crew at High Voltage Tattoo, located in Hollywood, Calif.

Musical performances headlining the event include Metal Skool on Friday, Tiger Army on Saturday and The Used on Sunday, with other bands scheduled to perform.

Musink will host three seminars on tattooing topics. There also will be contests for Best Black and Grey, Best Color, Best Sleeve, Best Backpiece, Best Japanese, Best Portrait, and Tattoo of the Day.

More than 50 vendors’ booths will include Lucky 13 Apparel, Passion Parties, Papi Chulo’s and Urban Inked Magazine, among others.

Show sponsors include KROQ FM, Rolling Rock Beer, the Slidebar Café, Eikon tattooing equipment, Goldenvoice Events, Eucerin and Canvas-Los Angeles.

"I'm so honored that my company is the only adult company that will be represented at the festival,” Angel said. “It was pretty awesome to see my logo in the ads for the event, right up there next to Rolling Rock and KROQ. It gave me all sorts of warm fuzzies inside."

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, and are $25 for one-day, $65 for three-days, and there are a limited number of VIP tickets available for $100. Parking is free.

Doors will open at 2 p.m. on Friday.
