COMPETITIONS

Judging begins at 5pm each day.

All small category’s are on Saturday,

1. Placement and flow of the tattoo: Think about how the tattoo fits on the body and how it flows with the natural contours.
2. The concept of the tattoo: Show off your originality and creativity with a unique idea or a creative design mashup.
3. Clean and consistent linework: Pay attention to the details and make sure your lines are precise and well-executed.
4. Well-packed blacks or colors: Whether you're using black ink or vibrant colors, make sure they are solid and evenly distributed.
5. Good blends and smooth gradients: If you're working with gradients, make sure they are smooth and seamlessly blended.

7. Does it look finished? Ensure that your tattoo looks complete and polished, leaving no room for doubt.
8. Personal signature: Let your individual style shine through and add your own personal touch to the tattoo.
9. Time to settle: Give your tattoo enough time to settle before the competition. Avoid last-minute rush and ensure your customer's comfort.
10. Convention exclusivity: Make sure your tattoo has been started and completed at this convention, unless it falls under the healed category.
