The show had a very laid back vibe next to the water and Mount Maunganui and awesome food trucks , music and graffiti art . New school work is just beginning to make an impression here . Don ’ t expect to be tattooing all night here ! It was a real chill area with the convention closing its doors by 9pm on Sunday . And when I mean closing the doors they were taking the walls down around us as Tatu Baby was working on her tattoo . The town of Tauranga is very quiet too with plenty of great food , restaurants and bars which die down pretty early .
Monday after the convention Tatu Baby and I were ready for an adventure . We decided to rent a car . Don ’ t forget they drive on opposite side road and the steering wheel is on opposite side as well . Somehow we only ended up going out the exit once and survived .
