Judges
Hundreds of tattoo art entries at the Magic Ink Tattoo Contest were judged by Bodhi Tattoo Supplies, Marmar Herayukti of Hellmonk Tattoo, Joky Fluke of Luxury Ink Bali and Chris Showstoppr (award-winning Australian tattoo artist).
Hats off to Magic Ink Magazine for organizing another amazing event to showcase Indonesian tattoo artists and their carefully selected panels of judges who recognized some of the most skilled tattoo artists each year. There is not one best artist because we all appreciate (body) art differently.
