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.
