Tattoo Contest Rules

​

1. Contest entry is $5.

2. All tattoos must be 100% healed unless entered into Tattoo of the Day.

3. If tattoos are not 100% healed there will be an automatic 5 point markdown per judge.

4. All judges are chosen based on unbiased opinion. No judge will be allowed to score a piece done by themselves or someone at their shop. There is NO favoritism.

5. There will be more rules if necessary based on the questions we get. We try to ensure a fair contest for all so if something comes up that we feel will be better for the contests as a whole we will put it here.
