Yes – there’s a dedicated after party on Saturday evening, running around 8pm–Midnight. It’s designed so artists, helpers, traders can unwind, but still finish in time for a fresh start on Sunday.
Competition schedules can vary by year, but they typically begin early evening on Saturday and slightly earlier on Sunday.
Artists who aren’t entering can usually continue tattooing into the evening on both days. Exact timings will be confirmed in the run-up to the event.
