Once you have received the applications, fill them out and email them back! Once we get your paperwork we will provide you with links to pay. A half deposit is required to consider your booth reserved.
You will see a space for this specific request on your show app!
Email your booth registration form to tattooedkingpin@gmail.com and we will send you an invoice from our online payment system.
One invoice will be sent to make a half deposit, then another to make the final payment.
Your inbox may thread these together. The system will not allow you to make duplicate transactions on the same day.
If you’d like to pay all at once you may notate that on your paperwork. You may also list two emails if you’d like to split the payment between artists.
Please add tattooedkingpin@gmail.com to your address book to avoid the invoices going to your spam.
