Gary Michaels covered the 2005 National Tattoo Association Convention for Tattoo Magazine. Tattoos by Lou owners Michelle and Ken Cameron hosted the 2005 NTA Convetion on land and at sea in their hometown, Miami Beach. This was a convention to remember as the first part of the event was on land at the Deauville Resort Hotel and the second part at sea with a five day cruise on Carnival Cruise's Fascination.
