AWESOMEFEST

This page seems to be lacking some important information... where is Awesomefest located? When does the movie marathon start? Can people participate just in that, without doing the bike ride? Thanks!

Tue, 31 Jul 2012 17:04:20 -0400

Wild Goose Creative is hosting the event. Their address is 2491 Summit st. Registration is at 8, and the first ride is at 9. The movies start after the morning ride, around 10:30. There will be a night ride, after the movies are over. Come for part or for all. Tattoos are not required. Donations for Asia’s Hope are recommended.

Who are some of the tattoo artists?

Tue, 31 Jul 2012 17:01:54 -0400

Evolved is providing all the artists. Not sure who all will be working that day.

How far is the bike ride?

Tue, 31 Jul 2012 17:01:22 -0400

Two, fifteen mile rides. One in the morning and one in the evening.

Some more tattoo flash. And make sure to keep raising support from your sponsors, as it all benefits Asia’s Hope. Send them to www.asiashope.org/awesomefest to make their tax-deductible donation. Also, remember that you need to purchase your shirt ahead of time if you want one, as we won’t be selling them on the day.

Are there any prices set for the tattoos yet? I've seen a few great designs I'd love on here. . . . but I kinda need to know costs.

Sun, 22 Jul 2012 23:28:38 -0400

Price will depend on size of the tattoo. They try to keep it in the $100-$150 range.

A Few Sketches

As I already mentioned, there will be a selection of tattoos that you can pick from, or you are welcome to bring your own designs.

Awesomefest Star Wars Messenger Bag

Seagull Bags has done it again. This bag has blown any of my expectations out of the water. If you had no other reason to come out to the event tomorrow, seeing this bag in person is reason enough. It will be up for auction, with all proceeds going to Asia’s Hope.

Boba Fett Riding A Unicorn by Mike Joos

I plan to get the word Hope as a tattoo during the event in Khmer. I have a mock up that should work. It will be somewhat small and placed across my wrist. Is it necessary to consult an artist before the event?

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 15:22:02 -0400

Any custom tattoo that you want to get done during Awesomefest needs to be cleared with the artist in advance. You can call or visit Evolved at 1906 N. High St.

More tattoo flash from Evolved

What's there to consider on the Bobofet tatty. It's awesome, do it. Instead of making it square you can extend the fractals out so it's more of an oganic shape around the edges. SICK!

Thu, 21 Jul 2011 13:41:09 -0400

Definitely a great idea but I already have a tattoo design picked out. Maybe another time.

How will I know if people have been sponsoring me for this event?

Thu, 21 Jul 2011 13:40:28 -0400

Unfortunately you won’t. Supporters are anonymous unless they inform you of their support.
