General rules of competitions and qualification of works:

– categories 1-7 will be held separately for fresh and healed tattoos

– category FUSION will be held on Sunday at the end of the day

– healed tattoos = open category, i.e., you don’t have to have a booth

– fresh tattoos = tattoos done during the festival, for booths holders

– now of registration to a given category you must show the tattoo or its photo for preliminary verification. The registrant has the right to refuse the entry of a given tattoo into a given or any category. In this way tattoos of too low level or not fitting to the category will be verified

– tattoos will be evaluated in terms of compliance with the style and technical level

– each tattoo can be submitted only to one category

Among all the works we’ll award the most unique tattoo.

Chillout with SUPERSKLEP

This year SUPERSKLEP is responsible for your relaxation at the festival. SUPERSKLEP. On their behalf we would like to invite you to the outdoor chillout zone, where with a drink or a coffee in your hand you can listen to graceful tunes by DJ Maślak. In the SUPERSKLEP zone we will also be painting boards, which will go out into the world to adorn the walls of the best skate shops and tattoo studios.

WORKSHOP ZONE

In the WORKSHOP zone you will also meet Krysia, who has recently been studying the art of creating linocut, a graphic technique, the effect of which is very close to the oldest relief printing technique. The classes will consist in carving a pattern in linoleum, which you will later print on special paper. So it’s chisels and paint-dipped rollers at work! According to the workshop leader, you don’t need super drawing skills to create cool things using this technique, just good tools and a bit of manual dexterity.
The workshop will take place on Saturday 11:00-14:00 and Sunday 14:00-17:00. Places are limited, so first come, first served! The WORKSHOP area can be found in the Lobby.

EXHIBITION AND SALE OF LINOCUTS

Diana (ttoo_diaz)i Alex ( but_tattooer) unfortunately cannot be with us during this year’s Tattoofest. There is a war going on in their country at the moment…

However, they managed to provide us with their original linocuts. These images are full of Ukrainian symbols, a sense of injustice and sadness, but also full of hope.
You can not only see them, but also buy them in our ART zone.
30% of the proceeds from the sale of the works will be donated to help the needy in Ukraine
