find out who is going to be at the con- vention. Once you’ve figured it out, check out their work and style on- line. If/when you’ve found someone you are fond of, you can pre-book an appointment. Ask if they can do cus- tom pieces, most just have flash they work form. (Flash = pre-designed tattoos.) You could send them ideas
o, you want to attend a tattoo convention? Either there is one happening in your city, or you
in advance for a custom piece. If you know you’re getting tattooed
at the convention, dress accordingly. Wear something comfortable, some- thing where the artist has access to the area he or she will be tattooing, and preferably, an article of clothing you don’t care much about (ink is very likely to get on your clothing). Bring a drink and a snack, make sure you’re allowed to bring in outside food. Otherwise, you can buy some food at the convention. If you don’t have a pre-scheduled tattoo with an artist, you can be a walk-in. Show up as early as possible if that’s the case! After you’ve scoped out an artist
you like, ask if they have any open- ings that day. If not that day, maybe the next. If you’re not getting tat- tooed and just want to experience what the convention has to offer, like shopping, you can buy shirts from a variety of shops. You can also pick up art prints, stickers, jewelry, and so on. If you don’t want to wait at the
ATM for money, bring cash! Tere’s usually entertainment like bands, dancers, and all sorts of perform- ers, from sword swallowers to fire jugglers. Tey also have tattoo com- petitions – best tattoo of the day, best color, black and grey, etc.… Lots of
fun to be had by all. Here in Winnipeg, we have two
annual tattoo conventions. One is put on by world-renowned Kurt Wiscombe, owner and operator of Winnipeg’s Finest Tattoos. Te other is put on by Rich Handford from Ka- pala Tattoos, a talented artist known far and wide in the industry. Both bring the best of the best – some of Canada’s greatest artist and artists from all over the world – the US and Europe. Two chances a year to ex- perience and celebrate tattoos and tattoo culture. Sean Bruce is the owner of South of Heaven Tattoos.
