UK Tattoo Industry Awards
The Liverpool Tattoo Convention as
a truly independent tattoo show, will again run the UK Tattoo Industry Awards
at the 2011 show.
Our Ethos:
We consider that Tattoo Artists and Tattoo Enthusiasts should decide
which artists deserve an award in recognition of achievement in their field.
We consider that Journalists, Photographers, Publications and online resources
do an invaluable job in promoting the industry, and the Tattoo scene in
general, so it is only right that achievement in these areas should be acknowledged.
Also that Equipment suppliers that supply to only registered artists should
be also be recognised for their contribution in preventing equipment getting
into the wrong hands.
This year sees the addition of 4 new awards and we continue to do what we
can to raise standards in the tattoo industry, give credit where it is due
and let the tattoo artists and tattoo enthusiasts voices be heard.
