tattoo contest rules
Healed tattoos can enter in all categories except Best of Day and Best of Show
We will take a MAXIMUM OF 30 persons in each category
A same tattoo will be able to enter in a MAXIMUM OF 2 CATEGORIES
EACH ARTIST will be able to enter a maximum of 2 tattoo by catégorie
The tattoos that will enter the Best of Day and Best of Show must have been completed during the convention. If we find that a tattoo submitted in these last categories has been started before (even if it is only blood lines, this will be considerate like cheating and the tattoo will be EXCLUDED from the competition and the tattoo artist will be EXCLUDED from ALL categories.)
The Best of Show will be a real category (the winner of the Best of Show will not be directly chosen in the Best of Days)
The Tattoos presented at the Best of Day must be done during the day. For those made over several days, there is the Best of Show category as well as the large pieces category.
- There will only be one prize for the Best of Day and Best of Show categories, the other categories will have three prizes.
- And finally, we like to have a friendly atmosphere during the convention, Fair Play has always been part of this event. We are not in a timed competition and the results can always be questionable, we try to choose the most objective and competent jury as possible, but they are made up of humans with their own tastes and opinions.
So if you are not ready not to win then DON’T ENTER the competition 😉
