HOW IT WORKS:

  • Each entry is $10 * An artist can submit more than one tattoo and enter multiple categories.
  • Judging takes place at the Main Stage, please arrive 5 minutes before your category begins judging
  • A panel of judges will inspect each tattoo and select three winners for each category.
  • There is only one winner each day in the Tattoo of the Day Category.
  • The Tattoo Artist of the winner wins a trophy for their studio and bragging rights!

RULES:

  • Tattoo entries (other than Tattoo of the Day) don’t have to be completed at the Show
  • For the small category, the tattoo must fit under an 8” x 11” piece of paper
  • Tattoo of the day show must be started and completed at the show. 
  • Tattoos that were started on one day of the show and finished on another can be entered into tattoo of the day on the day of completion. 
    (ie: started on Friday, finished on the Saturday)
  • All other categories should either be fully healed or done at the show. 

Tattoos that do not score well during competitions are tattoos still in a healing phase or tattoos that are healed but have been touched up shortly before competitions.
