TATTOOS CONTINUE TO GROW POPULAR IN THE MODERN WORLD
Tattoos are a passion for some and an art form for others. For most people a tattoo is a very popular fashion trend that exploded in recent years and has become a part of the collective imaginary of tattoo Artistry thanks to advertising, fashion, movies and TV which have used tattoo icons for messages that underline the freedom of choice of each individual.
“The tattoo show is an event that we know will draw different and varied visitors, keen to be educated, experience the art and be entertained. Some enthusiasts travel around the world to take part in tattoo shows, it is a time in which this art is experienced on one’s own skin and, it is difficult not to be affected by the unique atmosphere that makes tattoos a very familiar and easy form of body art for everybody’” said Kirby Lian from Utopia Studio, the Official Event Partner who is also the show’s inspirational mentor.
TATTOOS CONTESTS AT THE SHOW
One of the most highly anticipated moments of the show will be the Tattoo Contests. A time in which the tattooed public become the protagonists. The tattoo contests are organized for the different categories (best black & grey, best color, tattoo of the day, etc) and every day artists and the visitors can take part in an exciting competition in which art takes centre stage.
