Malaysians, get your canvas ready.
Kuala Lumpur's first international tattoo convention is happening this year and it's going to be the largest one yet!
Tattoo Malaysia Expo is a series of annual events that was founded by Carlos Benny Majakil, the owner of Koiyak Gloves.
The annual exhibition has seen an increase in the number of visitors and artists after its first event in Sabah back in 2015, which had only 50 booths and 1,000 visitors.
Supported by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, the expo will serve as a precursor for Malaysia's biggest event next year – Visit Malaysia 2020.
