Recently, Hindley Street’s Area101 held the first exhibition of its kind for South Australia, Diamonds and Guns. Shep and Dan Smith, two of Adelaide’s emerging tattooists from the Body Art Shop in Hindmarsh, displayed their works alongside graffiti artist “Someone” from New Zealand.
There was a vast array of art mediums including oils, watercolours, charcoal, markers, acrylics, and aerosol, with the underlying influence of the artists being a favourite – tattooing.
