Tattoo titan Mario Barth kicked off his four-day Biggest Tattoo Show on Earth at Mandalay Bay with a party at the resort’s Rum Jungle last night. Our contributing photographer Tom Donoghue was on the red carpet as Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee flew by, but other celebrities posed properly: Kate Hellenbrand, Stanley Moskowitz, Bob Tyrell, Japan’s Horitoshi family, Sua Petelo family, Jack Osbourne, Mark McGrath, Duff McKagan, Mix Master Mike, Evan Seinfeld, Palms headliner Matt Goss, Chuck Zito and DJ Steve Aoki.

Our regular Vegas DeLuxe reader Richard Corey captured the red carpet on video and posted his work on YouTube:

Mixing Celtic music with punk rock is almost impossible without a lucky leprechaun and a four-leaf clover, but somehow Flogging Molly pulls it off and had the fans at The Pearl in the Palms jumping for joy. Our contributing photographer Isaac Brekken was front row center for these shots.
