Your Ultimate Guide to Our Tattoo Conventions
Whether you're attending the Rubber City Tattoo Invitational, the Cranberry Tattoo Classic, or any of the hundreds of tattoo conventions across the country, one thing remains the same: You've got questions. Here is our list of most FAQs about tattoo conventions. If you still have questions, contact us, and we are happy to help answer them! See you at the show!
How Much Are Tattoos?
We often get asked, 'How much do tattoos cost?' The truth is that prices can vary significantly based on factors such as design complexity, size, and the artist’s proficiency. Every artist will thoroughly discuss pricing with you before the needle begins to buzz.
How Do I Get A Tattoo?
Start by browsing our website to discover artists who match your style preferences. Once you narrow it down, reach out directly to your chosen artist (their contact info is usually in their bio) to make an appointment. Let them know which show you will be attending.
Don't want to make an appointment? No problem! Several artists are only doing walk-ins during the show! Just remember that every artist at the show is excited to be there and can't wait to tattoo! So peruse portfolios, strike up a conversation, and if the vibe feels right, get ready for your next favorite tattoo!
How Do I Enter A Tattoo Contest?
If you're interested in entering a tattoo contest, it's simple: just bring $10 cash per entry and sign up at the registration table. You'll receive a wristband that will be your entry for that category. Remember, you don’t need to get tattooed at the show to enter a contest, except for Tattoo of the Day and Best in Show. You can enter as many contests as you like - you can even enter multiple entries in the same category. (Each entry is $10)
Prizes are awarded to both the artist and the collector (the person with the tattoo).
Does My Ticket Include A Tattoo?
While your ticket allows you to enjoy the event and interact with amazing artists, please note that tattoos are not included with admission.
Is The Show Family-Friendly?
We believe that art is for everyone, and we strive to create a family-friendly atmosphere where people of all ages can come together to celebrate body art.
Our conventions are designed to inspire creativity and foster community, showcasing talented artists ready to share their craft.
While we require participants who want a tattoo to be at least 18 years old, we offer free admission to anyone under that age, making our events accessible for all. Join us for an unforgettable experience filled with art, culture, and fun!
And don't forget we have a Kids' Tattoo Contest the Sunday of each weekend where kids can draw tattoos on themselves or someone else, and learn about the art!
What Should I Bring If I Want To Get Tattooed?
To ensure you're ready for an inspiring day, remember to pack your valid ID and wear comfy clothes that provide access to the part of your body where you want to get tattooed. Our talented tattoo artists are excited to work with you and turn your ideas into stunning artwork. Most artists take cash and credit cards, but make sure to discuss this with them before you sit down!
How Much Are Tickets?
