nt in a showcase of art that gives back to us the artists who have earned the right to attend and work with great people who love and live the realm of tattoo and the lifestyle it has grown to today.. E-file portfolios in .pdf or .jpeg Photoshop Gallery or Batch files ok [email protected]

Use a credit or bank card, Entries cost per artist as of now are;
$500 per 10x10 booth or 1000.00 for 10x20
You may bring a 2nd Artist and a front person to sell and schedule your "Entries" to keep you in good standings with clients .. You may submit multiple tattoos in a single category to increase your chances to win a trophy and advance to finals.. 2nd Artist may work on walk ups during show. So Yes Each Artist who wants to submit to win gold pays and he can bring his helpers too... So if both artists want to enter Olympic competition we will allow you to share booth if your comfy together. We are by all means trying to elevate this Sunday competition so try to plan plenty ahead and have entries lined up prior if your trying to take the gold.. This being said, Regardless of competitors or not, shops with 5 years in biz may attend or book space just to work or advertise and book clients for shop, all artists must have documentation as those competing are and must prove it to Pam! not Victor before they get a artists band which allows them to put ink and needle to skin. FRIDAYS WINS GET BYE ON SATURDAY
So get that $ money $ and give the others with no wins a better chance to win placement for Sunday. So to not give any ideas or give anyone a opportunity to cry any type of favoritism among Judges, "The judges will be found in and around the Tattoo World and will be in some way involved directly with the industry and only Masters and Journeyman in their field or level may submit to be a judge". Artists names will not be announced or documented until after judges have announced the winning collector, and the artist must produce photos or video footage of tattoo progress to prove he or she has performed the tattoo in limbo. Any one caught or suspected of doing any type of manipulating or cheating of any kind will be "86d" and asked politely to leave the show and they have been dismissed. "There will be no miss understanding that rule" = " ITS NUMBER 86".. ONLY TATTOOS DONE DURING SHOW MAY BE ENTERED FOR OLYMPICS,
Artist's $550 includes 10 X 10 booth, 2 tables, 4 chairs ,trash cans, and profile link and photo gallery which is compiled of the file or portfolio you submit to get you in the game..Additional Local Gov. fees may apply to compete
We are still in negotiations with Hotels on room rates..
