PROMO GRAPHICS ’23

Can I get a tattoo during the festival?
Yes, that’s the main idea of the festival. We recommend checking the list of artists participating in the event and choosing the style in which you want the tattoo to be done. In the “Artists” section, you will find profiles that, when clicked, will lead to the page, fan page, or gallery of the chosen tattoo artist. Then, you should contact them directly, presenting your idea and any additional materials or inspirations, and arrange all the details regarding the execution. Some artists do not make appointments in advance, and the designs they have prepared can only be viewed on-site at the booths – in such cases, all details should be discussed directly at the festival. There is also a Flash Box on-site where we gather available designs and information about available dates. Our team will help you find the right design and connect you with the tattoo artist.

Are tattoos done during the festival paid?
Yes, the cost of each tattoo must be individually agreed upon with the chosen artist.

Do I need to buy an admission ticket if I am getting tattooed during the event?
Yes, individuals scheduled for tattooing are required to purchase a ticket.

Is admission for children paid?
Children up to 14 years of age accompanied by a parent or legal guardian are exempt from the fee. The condition is to present a document confirming the child’s age. Furthermore, we are a Kids-friendly event and have a special area for the youngest participants, where they will be taken care of by qualified caregivers.

Can I re-enter the event after leaving the venue?
Yes, but the absolute condition is to have the festival wristband, which serves as proof of ticket purchase.

Can I bring my dog or other pet to the event?
No, please leave your pets at home.

Can I bring a camera, take photos, or record for my own use?
Of course, but please obtain permission from the tattoo artist and their client before recording or taking photos.
