SWCVI: Your guide to the Celebration VI tattoo pavilion
Ink Fusion mastermind Marc Draven and myself, are proud to bring you the biggest and best Celebration Tattoo Pavilion we?ve ever hosted at a Celebration event! To help make your Celebration tattoo experience the absolute best possible they?ve put together this handy guide detailing all of the?Star Wars?tattoo-tastic goodness you can expect to find in Orlando!WHAT YOU'LL FIND!
Tattoo Artists!
We will have over 30 tattoo artists from around the world tattooing all weekend long! Visit our?official page?on the Star Wars Celebration VI website to check out each artist?s profile and links to their work.
For larger pieces we highly recommend contacting the artist you?re interested having do your tattoo in advance and many of the artists can be contacted in their profiles in the above link for advance booking:
We will have a selection of ready-to-tattoo flash designs of?Star Warssymbols available at the show, however we do still recommend that you have a print out of the design idea you want if you?re planning a walk-up tattoo.
There is no fixed rate for the price of tattoos at Celebration and pricing is at each artist?s discretion. To avoid any surprises, it?s best to work out the approximate cost with the artist BEFORE you get your tattoo. And remember, it?s always good form to tip your artist afterwards as well!
You must be 18 years or older to be tattooed at this event and ID is required for all tattoos.
Tattoo Art!
A tattooer?s canvas is rarely ever?just?the skin. Most tattoo artists are accomplished in many forms of art and we?re pleased to showcase a wide-variety of original art from our guest tattoo artists throughout the weekend. In addition, many of these original works may be for sale from several of the artists.
Many of our artists will be participating in several collaborative live-painting and art-fusion events happening over the course of the weekend. Be sure to stop by and check it out!
