Right on, thank you @Hands On. I created an account, forgot about it and then wanted to check in after attending my first convention a couple weeks ago. I'm very off and on with forums. @sophistre, as far as narrowing down the list, the forum is a great resource for that as well. If you have ideas of what tattoos you want specifically, that can cut the list down by opinions held here pretty easily. What and who did you have in mind?

This is my first post, so I apologize for just jumping in, but I have advice to offer. Most tattooers who are making appointments for the convention will have their e-mail listed in their IG bio. Those that don't are probably just taking walk-ups. If you really want to seek advance booking and the artist doesn't provide information, call the shop and politely let them know you've exhausted your resources and would like to know about booking the artists at that convention. You'll likely find that they are only taking walk-ups. The best thing you can do for yourself and your artist is have an idea of the tattoo you want from that artist that fits with that artist's IG portfolio and let them take it from there.
