TATTOO ARTISTS BOOKINGS

Advance appointments: you can book an advance appointment with an artist by contacting them directly, just double-click a poster to get a better view of their work and find the artist’s contact details and drop them a line. (this is the best method if it is one particular artist who you want to be tattooed by at the show)

At the show walk-up appointments: many artists will have space set aside for ‘walk-up appointments’, so just come along to the show, check out their work (displayed on tables at their stand), and book in with them on the spot. The artists will have their own designs, or if you have your own ideas and want something custom designed, bring along some reference pictures, it helps the artist interpret your ideas. (this is the best method if you want to shop around and get a tattoo on the day)
