Beyond the Awards
Newbury was about more than the final results. Across the weekend, the artists met new clients, caught up with familiar faces and shared the convention floor with tattooists from across the industry.
Visitors stopped by the SVNR stand to view the work, talk with the team, collect artwork and merchandise, and experience tattoos being created throughout the event.
The weekend captured what sits at the heart of SVNR: individual creativity, shared experience and a commitment to continually developing the craft.
