You can get tattooed at the festival by either pre-booking an appointment via email/message or get a walk up booking.
Appointments are to be booked directly with the artists, make sure you include plenty of information in your email/message about what you want tattooed, size of tattoo, where on the body etc.
A large number of artists will be doing walk up tattoo appointments all weekend long. Tickets can be purchased from www.ticketek.co.nz or at the Ticketek box at the gate during the festival weekend.
And remember, the NZ Tattoo & Art Festival is a family friendly event, so bring the kids along! Alongside tattooing there is FMX & BMX shows plus a dedicated kid zone area. Kids 14 & under get in free when accompanied by a paying adult.
