What the best artist to do sleeves n the prices n do I have to book a spot
How hard is it to get a tattoo on the spot? Do you have to book ahead of time? I want to start my sleeve, and I've been trying to find an artist I like. I would like to scope out the options, but Ive never been to one of these, and I don't know how hard it is to get a chair. Any advice?
Poisonous Pinups Magazine will be there with Muerto amor movie http://www.poisonouspinups.com
Absolutely.
I cannot find it listed on their page at the moment, but last year it was approximately $20.00 for an adult for a day pass. You usually can get a slight discount if you buy a weekend pass. Tattoos are not included in the entry price – you would need to pay the artist individually.
Yes, you would need to pay for any tattoos you get at the convention. Some artists do take walk-ups if they have the availability, but many artists book conventions slots ahead of time. If you have a particular artist you wish to tattoo you, it's recommended that you contact them in advance to see if they have availability for the tattoo you want.
Do I have to pay for tattoos there? Are they walk ins or do I have to talk to artists ahead of time?
Never been to one how much to get in? Do I pay fa each tattoo? Or is dey free after I cover fee at the door? A lot question
Is there anybody that specializes in white tattooing?
usually I just get in touch with the artist ahead of time
How do I book someone for me to get a tattoo at the show ?
My name is Rusty Kate, from UK I never believed in love spells or magic until i met this spell caster once. when i went to Africa in July this year on a business summit. i ment a man called Dr. OGUDO.He is powerful he could help you cast a spells to bring back my love’s gone,misbehaving lover looking for some one to love you, bring back lost money and magic money spell or spell for a good job.i’m now happy & a living testimony cos the man i had wanted to marry left me 3 weeks before our wedding and my life was upside down cos our relationship has been on for 2 years… i really loved him, but his mother was against me and he had no good paying job. so when i met this spell caster, i told him what happened and explained the situation of things to him..at first i was undecided,skeptical and doubtful, but i just gave it a try. and in 6 days when i returned to New York, my boyfriend (is now my husband ) he called me by himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled with his mom and family and he got a new job interview so we should get married..i didn’t believe it cos the spell caster only asked for my name and my boyfriends name and all i wanted him to do… well we are happily married now and we are expecting our little kid,and my husband also got a new job and our lives became much better. in case anyone needs the spell caster for some help, email drogudospelltemple@gmail.com you can see what he can do and i belive that he can do so four you tooo
