Will only take place when all 3 winners are present.
The participant must register at the info stand (5,00€). The participant will get a number. At a certain time he/she must be present next to the stage. At that time the participant will be called to the stage and the jury will look at the tattoo.
Every category must have at least 7 participants to proceed.
The tattoo will be judged for design, artwork, composition, placement, proportion and originality. After the judging the 3 best judged tattoo’s in the category will be called to the stage. ONLY then the participant can reveal the name of the artist. The artist will receive an award (1st & 2nd places).
Rules for participating:
1 - The name of the artist MUST NOT be revealed until after the judging (to prevent any favoritism or personal preferences).
2 - Participating costs €5,00
3 - Participating automatically authorizes taking pictures and publishing on our convention websites, Facebook, Instagram, tattoo magazines, etc. – without any right of compensation.
4 - Best of day/days category: the tattoo must be completely (start to finish) done at the convention and on the relevant day.
5 - Best of 2 or 3 days category: started and finished at the convention.
