NOTE: Tattoo of the day MUST BE done the same day AT The CONVENTION!, CANNOT be entered the next day or WORKED in more than ONE day ! Those may be entered on BEST OF SHOW ! Why ? Because not fair to artists that managed their appointment with their client to do a tattoo they could finished for that day at the event ! while other finished tattoos the next day(s) or did more hours on it elsewhere ... ALSO we all know the tattoo will look better the next day with highlights and color settled !
ALL TATTOOS DONE at the show Can Enter Best of SHOW!
Why ? Because most times artists that work more than 1 day aren’t able to enter for Best of Day. Also most times winners don’t necessarily present their work every day and some only come for 1 day.
