Tattoo Convention Sponsorships
Tattoo Conventions/Festivals act as a platform for all tattoo artists to showcase their talent & participate in a healthy competition amongst nationwide tattoo artists. This is a great opportunity for all the artists to build their network & get an exposure to world famous tattoo artists & companies. However, getting a chance to participate here as a budding artist in the tattoo industry is not as easy as it may seem.
At Aliens Tattoo School, we provide an opportunity to our students to participate through us and sponsor their participation. Many of our students have won awards as freshers even when they competed amongst experienced artists.
