Atreyu’s Brandon Saller jumped onstage with Good Charlotte on Saturday for their song “The River,” and punk legends Fear reunited for the first time in well over a decade with guitarist Philo Cramer and drummer Spit Stix from the band’s classic lineup for much of their blistering Friday night set.
Travis Barker says, “Feels great to be part of the biggest tattoo convention/music event in history. Expect even bigger and better things to come in 2019. Thank you for another wonderful year of MUSINK.”
Kelli Fadroski of the Orange County Register noted, “…MUSINK fans came out in droves to completely sell out Day 2. Saturday’s festivities included the hundreds of world-renowned tattoo artists in their hangars, hard at work applying fresh ink to dozens of patrons.”
