2nd part
Like an #artist who takes different and only the best colors and place them on a palette, organizers did the same. They decided to open the doors for #everyone who won #1st places during last years in Kiev. They wanted to show every visitor and everyone from tattoo industry who is #thebest in Ukraine. If you have 1st place award from “Tattoo Collection” in your collection – Welcome! And last year they gave me this chance.

Just to collect all winners in nice location looked boring, so organizers did #challenge between artists. They kept classic tattoo contest as “Best of the day” but also they added a new one. Cans with small hole on the top were placed next to the #artist with name on it. Every visitor who bought a #ticket also got one counter and could vote for the best artist. Also if you had few favorite artist, you could buy few more counters and give your #voice to few different ones. You can buy as much as you want. Winner of spectator vote gets award and TV screen 39’ as a main present. But we will talk about that later.

1st day. My friend from Kharkiv and I came there. As young artist from other city I knew no one in our tattoo culture, and more/less every #tattooartist was pretty older than me. I felt very uncomfortable and was pretty #shy person. Come to acquainted tattoo artist who knew everyone and say “Hi” sounded unreal at that time. Hm! Now the same. But ok, I couldn’t stop and came there to #show what I can do. We finished with work place. Put the stencil on my friend’s chest and began to work. We #decided to do a large design, black’n’grey skull with a lot of ornaments in #Baroque style which directed to left and right shoulder. More/less the whole girl’s chest was feel with A4 size of picture and #million details. Just wanna remind you that it was 2013 and we use only coils tattoo guns in
