Tattoo Collection Festival
Tattoo Collection Festival is an annual event that has been held in Kyiv for 14 years. Tattoo artists from Ukraine, Georgia, Poland, France, Italy and United Arab Emirates will compete for the Golden Machine award. The visitors will have an opportunity to watch the competition, enjoy a fire show and listen to Belarusian rock band Lyapis 98. The bravest attendees can get old-school Sailor Jerry tattoos for free, however, they can only do it blindfold – they will have to trust the artists, let them pick a design and they won’t be able to watch the process.
