Not Quite Dozen
How would you feel about being inked at a tattoo convention?
From what I can tell from responses to an early question quite a few of you have qualms about being tattooed at home. What about getting tattooed at a convention....Dozens of artists from around the country....your chance to get inked by artists that you normally wouldn't have excess too......do you do it? and if not, why not?
We need to ask yahoo for a way to delete statements and comments from @ssholes
A tattoo convention is (when done correctly) is a controlled environment and is an extension of that person's business. We participate only in conventions that require tattoo artists to be licensed or from legitimate studios where licensing is not required.
The primary reason is for people to see professional tattooing and have fun - awards are great, too! The areas are always separated from people getting in close. For us, you have to have an appointment set up ahead of time, the artwork done up, etc. On occasion, we leave room on Sunday for people who come on Friday and want work done by us. We then have time to clean up the artwork if they bring flash, or we have some time to draw, etc. and be ready to go.
If you think you can show up at a tattoo show and get the best artists to work on you without an appointment, it is not likely. On occasion, though, you might be lucky enough to get in on a last minute cancellation or find an artist from an entirely different area there with some open times.
In any case, it gives you an opportunity to compare health and safety practices. Truth be told, we generally have a lot of people interested in us in that we even haul in even our own flooring because we will not work over carpeting. We want to be able to disinfect everything!! Some artists don't even know what cord cover or barrier film is!
I also don't know ANY tattoo artists who do free work at conventions.
Edit notes: Right, Deb...VIP freebies are far from what I was responding to above. At any rate, it is very important for someone to answer questions at the booth, etc. because no one should be distracting the artist or client. We don't run into spectators abusing those rules for us, fortunately.

DescriptionThe fact that Kenny Baker was asked to lead the Harry James band after the great trumpeter's death is a testimony to the English trumpeter's ability. Baker came to prominence in the original Ted Heath band, leaving in 1950 to pursue a very successful solo career... |
