WINTER BREAK FEST 2025 AT TEMPTATION CANCUN RESORT

Tattoo and Body Art Expo SUPER SHOW 2024
A Weekend of Ink, Art, and Inspiration at NRG Park

This weekend, the NRG Center will be buzzing with the hum of tattoo machines and the vibrant energy of artists and enthusiasts alike as the Tattoo and Body Art Expo SUPER SHOW 2024 takes over Houston. From Friday, September 6th to Sunday, September 8th, over 250 of America's best tattoo artists will gather to showcase their craft, offer on-site tattooing, and share their life stories in what promises to be one of the most significant body art events of the year.


Tattoo conventions are more than just gatherings; they are cultural celebrations where the art of tattooing is honored and elevated. The SUPER SHOW 2024 will be no different, offering attendees a chance to witness live tattooing, participate in contests, enjoy live entertainment, and immerse themselves in the tattoo culture. Whether you're looking to get inked for the first time or add a new piece to your collection, this expo is the place to find the best artists at the best prices.

Among the talented artists featured this weekend is Jhony Ramirez, a renowned tattoo artist hailing from Bogotá, Colombia, now based in Kissimmee, Florida. Ramirez, known for his unique impressionistic color tattoos, has become a significant figure in the tattoo world, captivating clients with his vibrant and detailed work. His journey into the world of tattooing began in 2011 when a chance encounter with a local tattoo artist named William, also known as "the priest," sparked his passion for the craft.

For those considering a career in tattooing, Ramirez offers sage advice: "Don’t rush into becoming a professional tattoo artist. 

Ramirez recalls how he was encouraged by William to buy a tattoo machine, which ultimately led to his first tattoo—a nine-hour session creating a fairy design for his wife. "I remember the excitement of that first tattoo," Ramirez says with a laugh. "It was just the beginning of a journey that has taken me around the world."

As he honed his skills, Ramirez found inspiration in painting, learning from master painter Araujo Santiago. This influence is evident in his tattoo style, which he describes as "impressionistic color tattoos." His work is characterized by its bold use of color and intricate details, whether he’s working in full color or black and gray.

Ramirez's talent and dedication have brought him to tattoo conventions across the globe, with his first being in Santiago de Chile in 2011. These events have been pivotal in his growth as an artist, providing opportunities to learn from the best, compete, and share his art with a broader audience. "Tattoo conventions are where I continue to grow as an artist," Ramirez explains. "They’re about more than just tattooing—they’re about community, learning, and sharing what we love."

For those considering a career in tattooing, Ramirez offers sage advice: "Don’t rush into becoming a professional tattoo artist. Take your time to paint, draw, and practice extensively. It’s important to thoroughly study and master different styles before committing to them."

Ramirez’s Instagram page, @jhonyramirez, serves as a digital gallery of his work and has been instrumental in connecting with clients from around the world. "Instagram is my primary showcase," he says. "It’s where most of my clients find me, and it allows me to share my art with a global audience."

Looking ahead, Ramirez dreams of becoming one of the top artists in the world, a goal he works towards every day. "It’s not easy, but I’m committed to improving and reaching that goal," he says with determination.

As the Tattoo and Body Art Expo SUPER SHOW 2024 kicks off this weekend, attendees will have the chance to meet artists like Jhony Ramirez, experience the creativity and skill of top-notch tattooists, and perhaps leave with a new piece of art on their skin. Whether you're a tattoo enthusiast or simply curious about the world of body art, NRG Center is the place to be for a weekend filled with ink, inspiration, and incredible artistry.
