Tattoo artists from around the world converged in Quito during the weekend to attend the 7th International Tattoo Convention, where they showed their works and techniques to the general public.

The event "Half of the world" welcomed tattoo artists from Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Brazil, the United States, France and Spain, among other countries, at the Quito Convention Center.

This edition's special guest is France's Antonhy Loffredo, better known as Black Alien, who has modified his body to look like an extraterrestrial being.

"Since I was a little boy I have had this project of changing my body because I'm very interested in aliens and life outside the planet Earth. Every day I ask myself if there is anything outside this planet. For me, it's my belief, it's like my religion," said Loffredo.
