Tattoo Contest Rules

Categories will be called in order, it is your responsibility to pay attention.

Please be at the stage on time. NO REFUNDS will be issued for missed categories.

Entry Fee $10 per entry.

All tattoos judged must be done by an attending artist! We feel very strongly about this so please only enter the work of Artists that are working at the PTC. We want our trophies to be won by the Artists that are spending the weekend with us.

Tattoo of the Day must be started and finished on the day of entry.

Best of Show must be Started and Finished at this event.

If you are entered into the wrong category (Size, color etc.) you will be disqualified.

We highly recommend you have the tattoo measured at the registration table to ensure it is entered into the correct category.

10% accent color in B&G Tattoos is acceptable.

1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies will be awarded for all categories except Tattoo of the Day and Best of Show.
