HANOI, June 15 (Xinhua) -- The International Tattoo Convention will be held in Vietnam's capital Hanoi in June for the first time.
Scheduled to take place on June 23-24 in Hanoi, the event offers hundreds of domestic and international tattoo artists a chance to exchange experiences and ideas on the art of tattooing, Vietnam's state-run news agency reported Wednesday.
Artists from China, Singapore, Germany and Poland will attend the event.
Artists will draw their creations on thighs, backs, arms and other parts of the body to impress judges and win awards across 14 categories, ranging from color and cover-up tattoos to the most hyper-realistic tattoo and the best body art displays, reported VNA.
A special award "Queen of Tattoo," worth 50 million Vietnamese dong (over 2,240 U.S. dollars), will be given to a female artist with the most impressive tattoo based on votes from the judge and viewers.
Over 100 kiosks providing tattoo services will be present at the event.
