Are you going as a regular customer or to work it?

As far as I know tickets are 15 for a day pass and 25 for a weekend I think.

It is a convention that hasn't got the best of reps but hopefully it will be different this year new venue and all that.

Usually what I find myself doing, and wishing I could be getting something done! :pac:
Got stuff done at the last two though.

bodice ripper

Oh, i don't want to get anything done, just float about. Say hello to various people.

I think the issue last year was that there were no day tickets (I'm open to correction there though). I know I wouldn't spend two whole days there anyway.

If I remember correctly there were but they were 20 quid for a day pass and 40 for a weekend pass. There were lots of empty booths with a lot of people giving out over the costs of a booth saying it was being done purely for profit.

But since there is no empty booths like Bodice said this year maybe it has changed, plus people were saying there no kind of entertainment on.

The Red Cow venue isn't exactly huge but then again may be suprised with how much they can get in there.

There was day tickets alright, because I was only there on the Sunday. I can't remember the price, but it was quite high compared to other conventions.

Do the artist charge full price if your getting some ink done ?

Just Like Heaven

Yeah. You'll often find prices are inflated in fact as the artist has to pay the booth price, fly in and pay for a hotel. That being said there's always nice flash etc. You often see people like Jeff Linares and a lot of the old school artists doing tattoos for like €50 cause they can pump out like 20 a day.

Might head down to it if the transport stars align themselves in the correct manner, how much is it for the day pass this time round?

15 per person.Under 12s free.

ShagNastii

Have been meaning to get something done but haven't been able to get time lately.

Much chance of me getting tattooed if I was to just turn up on Sunday?

Star Lord

No way of knowing to be honest. You'd just have to rock up to some of the artists and see if they have any time free.

Marty McFly

Looks like ill be heading to this tomorrow night a friend wants to get a piece done and since it's only up the road from me I think a few pints maybe in order. Sure why not.
