In 2003, Joe Dynamite opened his shop Glorybound Tattooing. Over the years, his business has grown to become one of the leading tattoo shops in Antwerp and surroundings. Within their tattoo craft, the human body serves as a canvas. In their personal work, the tattoo artists of Glorybound look for other carriers to display their creative work. Art forms such as photography, illustration, painting and glass chipping will be shown in their exhibition.
Behold the glory BEYOND GLORYBOUND.
