The 5th annual Texas Showdown Festival took place July 18 – 20, 2014. The 3 day fest has become the countries largest tattoo and music fest and its success can be attributed to the all star line-up of tattoo artists and musical guests which includes various television stars such as Ink Master’s Clint Cummings, Alli Baker, James Vaughn, Jim Francis and Sarah Miller to name a few. Music heavy weights included alternative metal band Deftones, punk band The Casualties, heavy metal band Drowning Pool and hip-hop legends Wu-Tang Clan amongst many more. The festival will continue to tour the United States for the rest of the year as the Inked Life Tour. We look forward to next year’s festival which is rumored to expand to 4 days! We’d like to thank George Galindo and his family for organizing such an amazing event for the city of El Paso.
