For three days, ink will be on display to be judged, ranked and awarded at the Seattle Tattoo Expo.

The expo, which is entering its tenth year in Seattle, is hosting a variety of events, catering to Tattoo artists, tattoo connaisseurs and those that want to learn a little bit more in the art of tattooing.

If you're a pro at ink, or, working on certification, classes will be taking students. Seminars in everything from technical health issues to artistry techniques will be offered to the professional tattoo artists.

The tattooed have an opportunity for their body art to be judged as well. With a $10 entry fee and the completion of a small form next to the judging staged, the inked can be judged in variety of categories including best and worst tattoos, best portrait, best pin-up and Tattoo of the Day.

A full list of the weekend's events can be found at seattletattooexpo.com.
