We had the chance to hang out with Ben There from Slave to the Needle Tattoo in Seattle, Washington while he was in Colorado as a celebrity guest judge for the Crossroads Tattoo Contest at the 2007 Thunder In The Rockies event.

Check out the 2007 Crossroads Tattoo Contest Winners from Thunder in the Rockies! Over 100 contestants showed off their incredible artwork to our celebrity judges. Which one is your favorite?

Ever wonder if we actually get out from behind our desks? The answer, believe it or not, is yes! TattooFinder.com has been involved with many events and conventions across the country and continues to do so each year. Not only is it a great opportunity for us to provide a hands-on experience of what we're all about, we also get to hang out with some cool individuals and meet our customers!

Ben There was born and raised in Colorado. He eventually wound up at the Memphis College of Art where he graduated with a BFA in 1993. He began tattooing in 1992 as a self-taught artist. After owning a shop in Aspen for a few years, he closed down and started a world-traveling journey of doing guest spots. He obtained a permanent guest spot at Slave to the Needle in Seattle where you can find him when he's back from his travels.

Thunder in the Rockies 2007 was a hit! Interviews with our guest tattoo contest judges along with video footage of the event is coming soon. Until then, check out pictures of the Crossroads Tattoo contest, Lyle Tuttle, and more!
