OKLAHOMA CITY Tattooing won't be legal in Oklahoma for almost three months.
But that's not stopping dozens of tattoo artists from inking up at Oklahoma City's first tattoo convention.

Oklahoma become the last state in the nation to authorize tattooing this year when the Legislature agreed to regulate and license tattoo artists and parlors. The new law goes into effect on November 1st, but several tattoo parlors have already opened.

About 50 tattoo artists from across the United States are attending the convention, the state's second this year.

Jake Thompson of High Octane Tattoo in Tulsa says another convention was held in Tulsa in February, and no one got in trouble.
