How to get a tattoo during Le Mondial du Tatouage ?
By appointment or by "walk-in"
Contact an artist directly (we provide a list of participating artist, with a sample of their work and contact details). Due to high demand, we recommend contacting them well ahead of time. Be sure to detail your tattoo project with them. We do not manage the artists' appointments.
A number of artists accept walk-in appointments (typically with one of the artist’s designs, prepared for the occasion). Once again, we do not manage the artists’ appointments.
Reminder : It is illegal to tattoo a minor (anyone under 18 years), without their parent or legal guardian's written consent. For any tattoo on a minor, the presence of their parent or legal guardian is absolutely necessary for the signature of a consent sheet. Proof of identification for both the parent/legal guardian and the minor is absolutely necessary.
