Tattoo Convention 2009

Artists Day

 

This year we've introduced an Artists day, a great opportunity to get tattooed by your peers, take part in the seminars or simply network and chill. Working artists are of course free but tickets can also be bought at www.tattooconvention.co.uk. Please note you WILL be required to provide proof that you are in the trade to gain entrance.
 
Artists will be permitted to work on members of the public(with a ticket and by prior arrangement) but the artist is responsible for collecting them from the entrance. Visitors passes will be issued in these circumstances and visitors will not be allowed into the seminars or trade areas.
 
We sincerely hope this strikes the right balance and give artists the opportunity to make the most of the show whilst ensuring trade areas are for trade only.
