Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How will the winners be decided?
A. The winners will be selected by the TBT staff team.
Q. What materials am I allowed to use for my tattoo design?
A. This is a standard drawing contest, so you are not able to use any materials to enhance your project. Please stick to pen, pencil, paint, crayon, oil pastels, chalk, etc on paper/card/canvas if working traditionally. The exception would be if you happen to have access to tattoo equipment, in which case synthetic skin would also be permitted as a medium.
Q. What are some tattoo styles?
A. Some terms you can search for inspiration include: American traditional, neo traditional, new school, realism, watercolour, blackwork, black & grey, fine line, tribal, irezumi, etc. You are not limited to these styles. If you're unsure if your style inspiration would fit this event, feel free to shoot @Chris a message with some references.
