Tj Smithers the artists are highly sought after. There is a list of artists but not their availability schedule. You will have to pick a realism artist and email them directly as they have no problem finding people. Randy Engelhard "Heaven of Colours"and Mike DeVries I know are both booked. If there is someone in particular you want to get inked by, its a really good idea to follow them on Facebook and bookmark their websites to stay posted. Usually you have to email the same day they announce a new convention and even then you aren't guaranteed to get a spot. They also choose who will fit their time well and who's idea they feel they want to tackle. I wish you lots of luck. You do have to do your own leg work though. Its worth it though.
you have to email the artist individually
Is there a list or something on facebook so I can see who still has openings ? Kind of a shot in the dark messaging a bunch of people.
Anyone who does realism taking bookings for Calgary expo? I'm already In with Levi Barnett but I'd like to get my wife In to for Saturday? I know this is a long shot but thought I'd give it a try . Ps who's the special celeb guests this year anyone know yet?

The tattoo used to be a mark of guilt or shame imposed on people to advertise their status as criminals and outcasts. It was like wearing a sign that said “victimize me.” Penitentiaries are showcases of skin art. Today, the gallery is expanding to include the world without oppression. I can't wait for this event!
I must go to this!
if someone needs an empty spot to work on, or wants to do some transformation I have something you can play with. inbox me
Can't wait to go to this! Would def. be up for being a live canvas at the show!
any idea how I get tickets to this years show?
would love to have a piece done so if anyone needs a canvas please email me looking for real tiger.
I'm going for sure and am super excited to be someone's canvas. Message me!
Need to go this year, I want more tattoos FYI so if anyone needs a canvas to work on for anyway reason, gimme a message :D
I'm defenatly going this year!
I can't wait!
