Awards for Artists
10 years of recognizing artists' work
The Global Tattoo Awards, international and annual artistic awards, are held yearly to showcase emerging and established talents of any age, gender, or nationality.
Since its creation in 2012, Global Tattoo Awards has aimed to initiate or strengthen international artists' careers by providing them with a solid reference that they can add to their careers.
Each year, we have a jury composed of 3 tattoo artists of the highest level and renown.
This year we have 21 categories and 59 awards in total.
The winner of the "Best Edition" category will be the cover of our special edition plus a 6 pages interview where he will show all his art to the whole world. We will also edit and distribute his biographical book under our label GTM—a hardcover book so he can tell his story to all our readers.
"The first prize winner will be our next special edition cover plus a 6-page interview where he will show all his art to the world. In addition, we will publish his biographical book in hardcover and promote it worldwide."
All tattoos submitted to the Global Tattoo Awards will be published in our special GTM Awards book.
