The Ink Addicted Experience
While future performances of Ink Addicted have yet to be announced, we saw the production at the Imagine Performing Arts Center at the Oviedo Mall.
Upon arrival, we were invited to peruse some of Chris’ visual artwork as well as fill out the necessary “waiver.”
Once we found our seats inside the theater, it was only a few moments before the show began! In addition to the delightful personal stories, arranged musical breaks, and comedic moments; I actually learned a lot about the tattoo industry and its unique challenges. I don’t want to give away too many spoilers, but I will say that this was a fascinating show that ends with an uplifting and inspirational message. You don’t want to miss it!
