There’s no doubt about it; that tattoo is actor Ian McKellen as Gandalf in the “Lord of the Rings.” It’s no shock that the work of art, made by Evan Olin, won first place in the “Realistic” category of a contest held during the 13th annual Boston Tattoo Convention at the Back Bay Sheraton over the weekend. The festivities drew packs of tattoo fans and artists to Boston for seminars, parties, performances, and competitions. Personalities at the event included Jade Clapp, of Revere, who won first place in the Miss Boston Ink contest, and Leanna “Banana” Lantagne, of Salem, who is “Miss February” in the “Classics in Color” tattoo calendar.
