Judging system


Each member of the jury (at least 5 people) has three cards with him. Each of the judges gives a card at his own discretion, without consulting with colleagues, to the participant of the competition, whose work he appreciated above the rest. In this case, all applicants are on stage at the same time. Whoever gets the most cards wins. In disputable situations, another round is held with the finalists.


When submitting a tattoo to the competition, carefully choose the nomination that is most suitable for your work.

One tattoo can only be submitted in one category.


Models, whose masters are not registered participants of the festival, are allowed to compete for the best healed tattoo upon payment of an organizational fee of 2000 rubles for each nomination.


Tattoos that won prizes at previous festivals do not take part in the competition.

The awarding takes place at the end of each day of the festival according to the nominations of the current day.

In the event that the model that won first place in one of the nominations is not present at the award ceremony, the latecomer's candidacy is withdrawn.
