Tips for your convention visit

Plan early: Many events are booked up quickly. Make sure you get your tickets in good time.
Be prepared: Bring enough cash with you, as many stalls do not accept card payments.
Check with the organizer: Dates and venues can still change. Therefore, please check the official website of the respective organizer before your planned visit.
Be open to new things: At conventions you will not only find tattoos, but also piercings, arts and crafts and much more.
Find out about the concept of the tattoo convention. Not every trade fair is based on the same concept. Depending on the scope, you can plan more or less time accordingly.
