****All kids’ activities are free. The kids area includes coloring sheets, water tattoos, a portrait workshop, and fun games. There are also two competitions: one where kids collect stickers and business cards from the artists, and another where they go on stage to present their water tattoos and win prizes.
WHO CAN JOIN
Everyone is welcome to enter the tattoo competition, regardless of when the tattoo was done or which artist created it.
The only requirement to be eligible for prizes is that both the tattoo artist and the tattooed person must be present during the competition.
The categories Best of the Day and Best of the Show must be tattoos created during the convention weekend.
The goal is to celebrate tattooing as an art form, the craftsmanship behind it, and the
collaboration between artist and client, all entries are welcome.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
If you get a tattoo on any day during the convention, but the competition for your category takes place on a different day, you will receive a free day pass for the day your category is judged. Inform us of this at the tattoo registration stand.
