Savage Ink International Tattoo Convention will be held from Oct. 19-20 2019 at Waterfront Hotel and Casino, Lahug Cebu City.

According to the event organizers, “Our aim is to promote the best of global tattoo culture, relive historic names, discover new talents, merge this kind of art with other art scenes and to raise awareness of the history.”

The event is hosted by Ann Savage and Joe Black and is supported by Macbeth, a footwear and clothing brand from San Diego, California, World Tattoo Events and Balm Tattoo, a tattoo aftercare brand from Madrid.

“We hope to help the tattoo community in the Philippines grow by providing them with the same standard as the international tattoo events we have attended around the world,” said Rhome Yu, Macbeth’s head of marketing.

Artists from around the world will take part in tattoo competitions under different categories including realism, watercolor, animal portrait, tribal piece, black and gray, Asian-inspired, lettering, geometric and more. Tattoo legends will be judging. The Best of Show winner will receive P100,000.
