Florida Supercon was back last weekend, bringing out comic book, anime, animation, video game, fantasy, and Sci-Fi superfans in geek chick style. Was it just us, or did the convention seem bigger and better-attended that in the past couple years? And out-of-costume attendees were few and far between.

Maybe we're getting soft in our old age, but our favorite part by far was the droves of kids sporting serious fan gear. It just goes to show that no matter your age or their hobby, there's something for everyone at Supercon -- and probably, something to inspire you to dress all freaky, too.

Check out the best costumes we spotted this year.

Some of us will remember this weekend forever as a festival of Miami Heat-fueled celebration. Others will remember it for a very different reason: It's written right there on their bodies.

Every year around this time, the Hyatt Regency hotel in downtown lends its space to some of the most dedicated attention-getters and pain lovers, those whose skin is a canvas for the dark, pop-art, contemporary artists at Miami's own three-day tattoo convention TattooLaPalooza.

Walking down the isles of the show, we captured tattoo artists who proudly showed us pieces done by another tattoo artist at the convention. It was a back-and-forth race to meet, greet, and photograph the diverse skin art, depicting lobsters eating rats, goddesses eating hearts, dolls trapped inside a brain. Think of it as an eye-catching needle banquet.

As opposed to other years where we couldn't stop snapping photos, our Sunday visit was a quiet one. Blame it on the rain, or the hangover from the championship celebrations. But the talent was not scarce. The artists were at work.

​Ultra Music Festival: The perfect reason to prohibit judgements, and forget inhibitions. As always, this year's Ultra was a place to party, dance, and of course, wear your wildest fashions.

Here, there are no rules. Your shoes don't need to match your outfit; everyone can wear a skirt; and even in the tropical sun, weather leg-warmers are a plus.

Oh yeah, and beads. You're gonna need a stupid amount of beads.

All over Ultra, we spotted individuals that made us wonder, made us laugh, and made us drop our jaws in awe. But we will say this: Each was having fun in its own way, and ruling its own style. Check out out pictures below.
