What is a tattoo convention?
A tattoo convention is a multi-day event gathering tattoo artists from around the world in one venue. Artists tattoo on-site, showcase their work and sometimes participate in competitions.
Conventions are a great way to discover new artists, get a flash piece from someone you'd otherwise not have access to, and experience the tattoo community in person.
Examples
- Getting a walk-in flash piece from a visiting artist
- Attending seminars on technique or business
- Best-of-show awards for artists and clients
