Guy Aitchison has long been known for his stand-alone tattoo style and his innovative techniques. For several years now, the waiting list to get tattooed by this modern legend has been all but closed to anyone but his established regular clients. This Spring, Guy is having a raffle-style contest where the winner will get a free 4-hour tattoo from him, to be given at the Hell City Tattoo Festival in Columbus, Ohio the weekend of May 16-18, 2008. That's a tattoo valued at $1000, but more importantly, a chance to get an appointment from one of the most inaccessible tattoo artists operating today.

In addition to the tattoo contest, Guy and his wife and partner Michele Wortman will be hosting a number of different events at the Hell City show, including some live painting performances and a book release party for a new tattoo community book project, Scratch Art. This convention will be one of the most exciting tattoo events all year, so be sure not to miss it!

If you can't make it, the Scratch Art book will be available through Guy and Michele's website, www.hyperspacestudios.com, along with their groundbreaking art books, Organica, Moments of Epiphany, and Guy's bestselling educational volume, Reinventing The Tattoo. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter for announcements of any future book releases and other events that Guy and Michele are participating in.

The winner will be selected randomly. You are welcome to describe your idea and as much other information as you want, but it won't have any effect on the selection process. Contest results will be announced on the Hyperspace Studios website March 1, 2008. Only 1 entry allowed per person.
